Yes, we have this problem with clients submitting stories,
or some such, by cutting and pasting from word processors.
You can get around it by using javascript to check the
text on exit from the form field, and then either replace
the high ASCII with "?" or strip it out, as appropriate. This
is "better" too, for performance, as the javascript
will warn and block on the client side, avoiding a
round trip.
