You need to send the _charset_=UTF-8 parameter for Sling to decode request parameters using UTF-8.

Decker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 November 2012 16:38 To: [email protected] Subject: accented text submitted via sling post servlet changed Hi, I'm submitting text to the sling post servlet via a post - just creating a node. I'm doing this from a Ruby on Rails controller. The text is 'abogado es tiburón' When I look at the ActionDispatch Request coming out of RoR, it looks like: "text=Abogado+es+tibur%C3%B3n.&lang=es&type=Type1&target=&sling%3AresourceType=bmn%2Fiarpa-metaphor%2Fcontent&jcr%3AprimaryType=nt%3Aunstructured&jcr%3AmixinTypes=mix%3Acreated" So, tiburón is 'tibur%C3%B3n' which according to this page looks correct: http://www.utf8-chartable.de/ U+00F3 ó c3 b3 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH ACUTE But when it's written to the repository it is written as: tiburón. I must be missing setting an encoding value somewhere... Any ideas?
