Sakai supports UTF-8 allowing for non-Roman characters, but this requires that Tomcat be configured to accept UTF-8 URLs since it ships with ISO-8859-1 as the default URL encoding. To change this setting, edit $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml. Add the attribute URIEncoding="UTF-8" to the <connector> element. For example:

$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml:

<Connector port="8080" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" debug="0"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
