[1] These 3 filses (total 3 line) change 
   from "encode('latin1')" to "encode('utf-8')"
$find . -name '*.py' -exec grep -l 'encode.*latin1' {} \;
./lib/python/ZPublisher/Converters.py
./lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py
./lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py

[2] This line change from 'iso-8859-1' to 'utf-8'
lib/python/App/dtml/manage_page_header.dtml
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('management_page_charset','iso-8859-1')">

These changes seems well work for me.
But I have not enough test.

Are there some reason to treat unicode string  not as 'utf-8' but as 'latin1'(iso-8859-1)?

Additionaly
Japanese languese have some encoding,
euc-jp, shift_jis, iso-8859-jp and utf-8 (and another?).
I want mechanism to change encoding dinamically.
