That's wrong. UTF-8 works for *every* character. You only must use it 
correctly - and that's not so easy :-)
By default giving a browser an UTF-8 document, it will send forms 
encoded in UTF-8 too, but Cocoon expects ISO-8859-1. You can change 
his by setting the form encoding correctly.

Well, I have mentioned it, I am definitily no encoding expert, but my 
practical know-how shows me with different tools(!) not only with 
cocoon, that UTF-8 does in praxis not work with, e.g., german umlauts. 
ISO-8859-1 does. Thats fact. Maybe, there are problems in 
implementations, I don't know, but this is what I experienced.
