This is a link to the mapfile that has "gml_encoding" set to "UTF-8"

Milo,
The response of your server contains the following header:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8" ?>
Which leads me to think that setting encoding has worked since the
default encoding returned by MapServer should have been ISO-8859-1 if
you don't explicitly set it to something else.
Can it be that it should be "wfs_encoding"?
I think that's what the problem was. After checking the source code
again, it seems that WFS GetFeature checks only for wfs_encoding and
ows_encoding but doesn't try gml_encoding.
Sorry for misleading you. :(
Should it be placed in the web metadata section of the MAP or of the Layer?
It has to be in the WEB metadata.
