Proposal (see issue 626):
Try:
>>> s = 'äöü€'
>>> for i in range(10):
... print s[:i]+'...'
...
...
�...
ä...
ä�...
äö...
äö�...
äöü...
äöü�...
äöü��...
äöü€...
>>> for i in range(10):
... print s*.decode('utf-8')*[:i]*.encode('utf-8')*+'...'...
...
ä...
äö...
äöü...
äöü€...
äöü€...

In an SQLFORM.grid strings, which are too long, will be cropped. But
multi-byte characters should not be split.
Proposal: gluon/sqlhtml.py, line 1800
Change:
elif isinstance(value,str) and len(value)>maxtextlength:
value=value[:maxtextlengths.get(str(field),maxtextlength)]+'...'
to:
elif isinstance(value,str) and len(value)>maxtextlength:
value=value*.decode('utf-8')*\
[:maxtextlengths.get(str(field),maxtextlength)]\
*.encode('utf-8')*+'...'
Maybe there is a better solution, but it works.
