 For example, if the 'a' character with a ^ accent (I won't submit the
 actual character here ;-)) is specified in a comment, Trac accepts the
 character, stores it in the SQL database, but then fails to render it:

 {{{
 Trac detected an internal error:

 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe2' in position 0: ordinal not in
 range(128)
 }}}

 This means that once someone has submitted such a character, the ticket
 cannot be rendered anymore.

 I do not know if this issue also impacts other component (as it seems to
 occur when Wiki text is rendered)
