There have been a lot of posts about this, but none of the solutions
are working for me - so here's another one...
I've only discovered this with two characters, but I suspect there are
more. If i try to put café or "Living" or humankind's into a form
field I get UnicodeEncodeErrors like so:
--------------------

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in
position 193: ordinal not in range(128)
---------------------------
The character changes (é gives u'\xe9', " gives u'\u201c, " gives
u'\u201d' and ' gives u'\u2019' ) but the error is the same. This is
a problem because Microsoft Word automatically converts cafe into
café, "Living" into "Living" and so on and my client is copy pasting
text from Word to the web page.
About my system: Ubuntu running Python 2.5.1 (although I've seen the
same problems under multiple versions of python) and TurboGears
1.0.2.2. I'm using MySQL for the database and SQLObject for the ORM.
Everything is basic, out-of-the-box quickstart with very little
configuration tweaking.
I've tried changing the Kid encoding, adding an XML declaration to my
templates, changing the database Collation and a few other things I
don't remember. That doesn't mean that I did them correctly or in the
right combination though...
Thanks for any advice.
