Wow, that is a massive change. Last time I asked you said the encoding
in your image would be utf-8, now you do utf-8 encoding. That does not
work together. I hope you don't use the patch Boris posted because I
don't see how this can work.

If the encoding in your image is utf-8 then the browser should send
0xC3 0xA9 (two bytes) and in your image you should have:

String with: (Character value: 16rC3) with: (Character value: 16rA9)

This should be sent unaltered to the browser.

If your image encoding is Unicode then browser your send 0xC3 0xA9 as
well and in your image you should have:

String with: (Character value: 16rE9)

This should be sent as 0xC3 0xA9  to the browser.

Happy debugging.

Cheers
