Description

The form is always posted using Ajax in UTF-8, but if you're using a different encoding in the DB or the HTML aswell, the string is ugly obviously. Wicket should convert from UTF-8 to the given encoding (detecting from getMarkupSettings().setDefaultMarkupEncoding("..."); or getRequestCycleSettings().setResponseRequestEncoding("..."); or an other settings parameter which could be given to wicket)

I'm attaching a quickstart project which demonstrate this issue by echoing back the string given to a textarea.
