As I said in an earlier email, the laundry list reads something like:
- Make sure your database character set is utf8 <- this should  
possibly be checked by Rails
- Make sure all your tables have a character set of utf8 <- this  
should be done in migrations
- Make sure your database.yml has 'encoding: utf8' set for each database
- Put $KCODE='u' in your environment.rb
- Add 'normalize_unicode_params :form => :kc' to your application.rb

I'll sit down next week and write a plugin that does all this (if  
someone doesn't beat me to it).
