Hi, We have a ton of AT objects that we've imported from our databases, some of which are Japanese characters imported as unicode. In some cases, those could not be imported because of UnicodeEncodeErrors or UnicodeDecodeErrors loading the object from our DB or loading them into the ZODB. It would have been really nice to keep these entries, but we just put them in a try:except: block to get past them. Our current problem is that now we have the data in our DB, and they all display fine. But when we go to edit them through a base_edit and click Save, we're back to this: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: ordinal not in range(128). The traceback shows the field which is causing the error, and I don't see any unicode chars there! Zope 2.7.3-0 python 2.3.4 linux CMF 1.4.7 Plone 2.0.4 AT 1.3.1-final + MySqlSqlstorage
