On the side of pier, accented characters spend. By against the same asString text under squeak includes characters incomprehensible. Moreover, I can not write with the keyboard one character accentuated in squeak, it displays a debugger.
You are using a different encoding on the web, than Squeak is using internally.
Pier and Seaside normally treat data as byte-arrays, they don't care what encoding they have (that works well for what Seaside and Pier are doing). This is what the server-adapter WAKom is doing (or not doing).
If you want to convert data coming from the web to Squeak format, then use WAKomEncoded instead of WAKom. This converts all data coming in and going out to the right format, but is also sort of slow.

How to write a character accentuated with my keyboard? Squeak displays the debbuger when I strike on the "é" on the keyboard. I can't use accented characters into squeak with keyboard. How to write a utf8 file? I am Linux utf8. So How to use utf8 and not latin-1 into squeak?
Thank you for your help
