Yes, you need to update the default behavior for opening and saving  
text to the Data Grid field editor (I wish Rev worked with UTF8  
natively).

When opening the field editor in your column behavior you are already  
calling EditFieldText. The Data Grid is going to work with the 'text'  
property of the fields by default. You can override this by setting  
the dgTemplateFieldEditor["utf8text"] property (you can also pass in  
"htmltext", "rtftext", or "unicodetext") before calling  
dgTemplateFieldEditor. Setting the dgTemplateFieldEditor["utf8text"]  
property of the Data Grid will use the value you assign rather than  
the 'text' of the field.

I haven't fully documented dgTemplateFieldEditor but there is an  
example in the lesson on aligning decimal columns. There really isn't  
much to it:

<http://lessons.runrev.com/manuals/datagrid/lessons/7331>

When closing the field editor you will need to extract the UTF8 text  
of the field editor. The example in the manual actually shows how to  
do this. Search for UTF8 on this page:

Just remember:

1) Encode from UTF8 to UTF16 when assigning content TO a field.
2) Encode from UTF16 to UTF8 when retrieving content FROM a field.

If you look at the uText definition for the Placeholder behavior it  
works on the text property of the field. The behavior also has  
uUTF8Text getProp/setProp handlers that you can use though.

Just insert the uUTF8Text of the field into the Record object.

You don't need to create the props for any field. Just put the getProp/ 
setProp definitions in the message path. When you try to access the  
uUTF8Text property of an object or set the uUTF8Text property of an  
object the handlers will kick in. No custom property value is being  
stored in the field itself.

Oops, I forgot to include _UTF16ToUTF8.

private function _UTF16ToUTF8 pText
     put unidecode(pText, "UTF8") into theText
     replace NULL with empty in theText ## why? Because a NULL crept  
in once
     return theText
end _UTF16ToUTF8
