[Zope] zmysqlda unicode errors

Hi All! I am using Zope2.6.2, ZMySQLDA-2.0.8, python2.2.2, and MySQL-python-0.9.2. I have some forms that submit to a script which saves the data into a database. The pages the forms are on have a charset of utf-8. Some browsers (IE, I'm thinking), when they detect a unicode charset, use a special unicode character for apostrophes. When the form is submitted with these unicode characters in it, my script raises a UnicodeError when ZMySQLDA apparrently attempts to change the encoding to ascii. So my question is: does ZMySQLDA support non-ascii encodings? I'm checked the mysql docs for the version I have installed and it does. Any ideas? Thanks for the help! Andy
