Comment (by jimisola):

 I spent 3 days trying to resolve the encoding problem just to realize that
 the fix trivial and well-know.

 So, how does it help new users that it is pluggable in 2.1?
 Is it set to UTF-8 by default or will new users have to find out the hard
 way??

 I strongly believe that the encoding used for the database should be a
 simple setting in the admin interface and that it should be set to UTF-8
 by default.

 If new users in fact have to provide a filter I think that in able for
 this ticket to be closed it should provide (attach) an example of such a
 filter.
