Which parser are you using? Quick tests with PCDataXmlParser seems to indicate all ç get mapped to the unicode character. In fact it does that for all entities in object HtmlEntities (line 26 onwards in lift-util/src/main/scala/ net/liftweb/util/PCDataMarkupParser.scala)
If I enter the ç into a form it gets stored as the unicode character \u00E7 ... and also returns as that unicode character. Regards, Marc On 15/03/2009, at 11:36 AM, Charles F.
