I meant GWT *RPC* explicitly sets character encoding to UTF-8 to transfer data from server to client and back. It does not matter how javascript internally stores characters; the problem here is that you are lying to javascript. You say "these raw bytes are UTF-8 encoded", but in fact they are encoded in ISO-8859-1.
