This is wrong anyway. Use tal:content in the textarea instead.

meta charset does not count btw. CMF default should, but it really 
depends on the real content-type header you send. Make sure its
the encoding you want there (setHeader() )

And its important to watch the encoding of the strings you work
with. Where does the dictionary come from?
