[OpenLayers-Users] WFS filter, encoding problem

[Steve.Toutant at inspq.qc.ca]

Hi,
I modified this example
http://dev.openlayers.org/examples/wfs-filter.html

to test a getfeature request with a non spatial filter. My problem is when 
I have a french character (é,è,ç, ...) for value, example
new OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison({
type: OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison.EQUAL_TO,
property: "nom_service_incendie",
value: "Régie incendie Lac Saint-Pierre"

This layer is a mapserver WFS and the data are in postgis table. The where 
clause in postgis becomes
"nom_service_incendie"= 'Régie incendie Lac Saint-Pierre'

This returns obviously nothing.
Why is this happening and how should I manage that?
Thanks for your help!
