UTF-8 and capitalize issues

Hi everyone,

I'm applying the capitalize modifier to a particular text variable,  
which works as expected in most cases. What has recently come up is  
that non-english characters are throwing a bit of a kink into my  
plan. For example, Galápagos is coming out as GaláPagos with the  
capitalize modifier.

I looked through the forums and didn't find any solutions that  
worked, including using the setlocale() PHP function on my page...  
All my Smarty template pages are set to charset=utf-8 in the headers,  
and my mysql tables and text fields are utf8_general_ci.

So at this point I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I should do next.

Any ideas?


Thanks!
Cameron
