Version 3.5 didn't force UTF-8, which led to a TON of problems with misconfigured containers, notably tomcat. SOLR-4265 (first available in 4.1.0) fixed this problem. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4265 In your case, because you are actually aware of your character set encoding, you use a Tomcat setting that would be incorrect for most people, but it's correct for you. It might be advisable for us to make the charset configurable in Solr. I have started a developer discussion on it. I do not know how difficult it will be to implement, how long it might take, or whether it will even be done. Is there any way you can convert to UTF-8 before Solr sees the data? Thanks, Shawn
