forums UTF-8 handling

Hi,

I have installed Alfresco Community Edition v3.3 in Linux environment (with "–mode console").
The problem is with alfresco explorer forums: whenever I create topic or post reply in discussion using UTF-8 encoded chars (e.g. ąčę), the web browser hangs, endlessly waiting for reply. The same behavior appears afterwards, when trying to display that topic/discussion. Along the mentioned, alfresco's java process boosts to a cosmic rate chewing processor resources and stays in that condition till "alfresco.sh stop" is called.
There are no any errors in logs.
I didn't notice problem with using UTF-8 anywhere else in alfresco, everything is displayed/entered correctly.

Any solutions how to overcome this situation?

Thanks for noticing that, but table incoding seemed to be OK, strange but under alfresco share all UTF inputs worked well.

So I "solved" this problem by installing the latest nightly 3.3G build from:
  http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/nightly/dist/

I installed it upon existing alfresco database & existing alf_data - I'm having no problem with UTF simbols now (in addition, several other bugs have been squashed - well done guys!)
