See Zope2/Statup/zopeschema.xml

   <key name="default-zpublisher-encoding"  
datatype=".default_zpublisher_encoding">
      <description>
        This key controls what character set is used to encode unicode
        data that reaches ZPublisher without any other specified encoding.
      </description>
      <metadefault>iso-8859-15</metadefault>
   </key>

As to why it is iso-8859-anything as opposed to utf-8 is presumably  
because it has historically been the case. I don't know what would break  
if this would change.
