[Zope] unicodedecoderror in page templates

[Peter Bengtsson]

It's because somewhere you have a string that is part of the page
template that looks like this:
'st\xc3\xb8rste' (when it should be u'st\xc3\xb8rste') and this is
"merged" with a proper unicode string.

Check this out:
>>> x="st\303\270rste"
>>> print x
største
>>> x + u'S'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position
2: ordinal not in range(128)

Try to make sure all strings that contain non-ascii charaters are
encoded properly as unicode and you'll be fine. Remember to be
consistent with the encoding.
