I have a typical ZPT form that redisplays entered data if invalid data is entered: <input type="text" size="30" name="name" tal:attributes="value request/name| nothing"> Unfortunately it throws a Unicode exception if a Czech accented character is entered. Such as "s" with a hacek. Or "c" with a hacek. Possibly applies to many other languages as well. Is there a workaround?
