Can't you migrate to pure UTF-8?

Yes, you need to set the Content-Type header.  You could include this
into standard_html_feader

  <dtml-call "request.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=UTF-8')">

or do the equivalent thing from a PageTemplate macro.

I've been using UTF-8 data in Zope for a long time, and so far haven't
experienced any problems.  (Ok, there was one: in Zope 2.5 every
inclusion of a page template used to override Content-Type, so setHeader
had to be called near the bottom of the outermost PT.  This is fixed in
Zope 2.6.)
