Is mysql in UTF8 by default? Same question for tomcat or other JEE
containers.

PS: Why not just have xwiki.cfg's default be:
'xwiki.encoding=UTF-8' ;
likewise have web.xml's default for
com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter's 'encoding' be
UTF-8. These
encoding errors that oft go unnoticed are probably resulting in a
number of
configuration errors, and perhaps other bug-reports that aren't

valid, should they depend on encoding issues.
Big +1
This is one of the oldest issues open
(http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-94). I guess that since we're
nearing 2.0, it would be a good thing to set this on trunk, before the
1.9M1 release.
WDYT?
