Re: [Zope] local characters and ParsedXML

You might try setting your browser to display UTF-8. Take a look at the mix-in class, DOMIO, in the ParsedXML source, MangeableDOM.py. Internally ParsedXML works in Unicode and evaluates all entity references to their Unicode equivalent. When the ParsedXML renders the text into the <textarea> of the form, it does not recreate entity references from the internal representation but writes the character itself in a representation your browser does not understand. I think the right solution would be to override DOMIO with methods to recreate entity references from the Unicode source so that only ASCII characters appear in the <textarea>.
