Stas and all of the others,

I think I got your problem solved, you need to:
- print $q->header(); + print $q->header("text/html; charset=utf-8");
Well actually you did not. Probably you looked a bit too fast. (forgivable in view of the numbers of mails you reply to:-)
Actually I haven't looked, I have tested with your code. Before setting the header I wasn't getting the unicode chars you put in the form back in the dump. After setting the header it did print out exacly the same unicode character.
I didn't have a chance to mess with the hex representations yet.

(Oh did I mention already that I have tested only against IE6, because the browser could be the cause as well of this odd(?) behaviour.)
I think this is where the weak point is. You need to compare characters on the server side, not trying to rely on the browser, which as you have seen will render them improperly if you didn't set the right header.
You have two things happening: read input, send output. The problem can be in any of the two and worse, it can be in both and the error can fix itself when doubled. You need to verify first that the input is read properly, then the same for the output.
I have started writing the test for mp2 to verify utf8 input, hopefully I'll finish it soon.
