Hello,

I have no answer to your question, I just want to add something related. 
Several days ago I created application with Catalyst, TT, FormFu and 
PostgreSQL. Immediately after I put [% form %] into my template file, 
encoding was broken. I spent several hours trying to fix it. Also, there 
is Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode which seems to be deprecated, 
Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding. Maybe it is just because I'm 
relatively new to Catalyst and other stuff, but I think it  is confusing.

It was necessary to 'use utf8', add 'ENCODING UTF-8' both for 
Controller::HTML::FormFu and View::HTML into config file and set 
pg_enable_utf8 => 1 for DBIC. Maybe it is possible to change Catalyst in 
order to read/write encoding information only once and use it for whole 
site/templates/forms/etc?
