Hm. Answer: By testing several times on my Leopard Mac and my Snow Leopard mac, in iCab and in Safari. I looked at the letters, and they were malformed like when UTF-8 is read as Win-1252. I also had to use the form, and the form was sent as WIN-1252 rather than UTF-8. 

But now, several hours later, things seems to work - except when I manually select the Western encoding, which is expected, with the way Safari works. So either I - nevertheless - made an error when I tested, e.g. I may - despite that I was aware of the problem - have manually selected win-1252 in the current Tab. Or - eventually - the page has somehow been updated during the day.

Given the uncertainty, I of course withdraw my claims about this page.
