I know that if the text pasted is a true UTF8 all go perhaps
better.<br>
But when the user fill it using a copy/and/paste from a word
document,<br>
it is not using an UTF8 but instead a CP1252 in local language
(italian, francais, english, or deutch language, every one with
its own particular languages characters).<br>
For us they are these:<br>
òàùìè<br>
but also the word microsoft: when the user copy/paste from it a
text with inside a ' char, it became another char <br>

I think the clipboard should already take care of charset
conversion?<br>
If it does not, that should probably be fixed instead.<br>

They should be escaped / substituted.<br>

The char "<" if go to fail the response xml.<br>
<br>
The better for xml client solution is to put the restricted char
inside a CDATA section or escaping them.<br>
, of-course we could ask to the user to fill the abstract setting
every restricted char inside a CDATA section, but actually QGIS
say nothing for it , so the user don't know is it is pasting a
text with some restricted char.<br>
<br>
Hope to better explain the question.<br>

If there is a problem which you are experiencing it should be taken
care of.<br>
I am just not sure if the solution of trimming it all to 7-bit ascii
is the preferred one. IMO other fixes should be explored before
using this sledgehammer approach.<br>
