I would advice against relying on default-zpublisher-encoding. I never used that. By specifying the encoding like this "variablename:utf8:ustring" you override whatever default-zpublisher-encoding was set to. If you rely on default-zpublisher-encoding your product isn't installable somewhere in another zope without explicit instructions and it might clash with other things installed. Remember, it's just a default. 2008/6/26 Garry Saddington <garry@schoolteachers.co.uk>:

I am using Zope 2.9 connected to a Posgres DB via psycopg. My database
encoding is UTF8. I am getting the following error when users try to
insert text in the database containing £ signs: ERROR: invalid byte
sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xa3
This is due to the encoding of a £ sign in the text being sent to the DB.
My question then is how do I make sure that all encodings submiitted from
forms are in the correct UTF8 format? Regards
Use ensure that the HTML page uses UTF-8 as encoding
(either using <meta-equiv...> within the HTML page or by sending
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
as HTTP header.
I have taken this a little further after trying all suggestions in the thread with no success and looked into zope.conf, specifically:
# Directive: default_zpublisher_encoding
#
# Description:
# This controls what character set is used to encode unicode
# data that reaches ZPublisher without any other specified encoding.
#
# Default: iso-8859-15
#
# Example:
#
# default_zpublisher_encoding utf-8
As my pages all report as iso-8859-15 I thought a change here would help, but this happens:
from OFS.content_types import guess_content_type
Error: 'default_zpublisher_encoding' is not a known key name
It works on this: Zope Version (Zope 2.9.0, python 2.4.2, win32)
And fails on this: Zope Version (Zope 2.9.0-, python 2.4.5, linux2)
Any further help would be appreciated.

Garry
ps. just noticed the typo (not mine) in zope.conf - default_zpublisher_encoding should be default-zpublisher-encoding
all sorted
