Solr accepts and outputs text in UTF-8. The UTF-8 hex encoding for the à character is C3A0. In the latin1 character set, hex C3 is the à character. Similarly, in latin1, hex A0 is a non-breaking space. So it sounds like your input is encoded as UTF-8, therefore that character in your input source is hex c3a0, but something in your indexing process is incorrectly interpreting the UTF-8 representation as latin1, so it sees it as "à ". SolrJ is faithfully converting that input to UTF-8 and sending it to Solr. Thanks, Shawn
