Dealing with character encodings can be a real pain in the neck. But, I
don't think you nedd a patch.

We have been inserting higher order UTF-8 characters in EP 2.3 and EP
3.0.3 (and earlier versions) successfully for years. Make sure that you
really insert characters with UTF-8 encoding. There is weird code out in
the web to make non-English characters appear in web sites. To make
things easier we have a help page where you can copy and paste UTF-8
encoded characters in to the form fields. Works for all text fields in
EPrints:

Feel free to adopt for your own needs.

In the site's CSS we asked (Windows) clients to use the "Arial Unicode
MS" font to enhance the chance that characters are shown correctly:

font-family:"Arial Unicode MS",verdana,arial,sans-serif;

Good Luck
Helge
