Thanks for your reply, but I think I need more hints.
In demo/pages.ptl I added, at the beginning of _q_index following lines:
    request.response.set_charset(str('UTF-8'))
    unichr(0xf3)

and

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/quixote/publish.py", line 525, in
process_request
    output = self.try_publish(request, env.get('PATH_INFO', ''))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/quixote/publish.py", line 458, in
try_publish
    output = object(request)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/quixote/demo/pages.ptl", line 14,
in _q_index
    unichr(0xf3)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf3' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Could you give an minimal example of page with non-ascii characters,
that is encoded as set with set_charset()?
