When using Maypole to create an object that has non-ASCII characters
in one of its fields, the browser encodes the form submission, e.g.
׊א and so on, and the database receives this data undecoded.
This is obviously wrong for most applications; I want my database to
store information in UTF-8.

This is another one of those general questions about a problem that
isn't Maypole's fault. I realize this, but it's not clear what module
does handle this, so just a pointer would be appreciated: is either of
the modules mentioned in the subject responsible? What should be done
to fix this?
