It seems to me that this might already been done by the browser.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find any normative reference, so out of
curiosity I set up a simple form with accept-charset=ISO-8859-1, and
entered İ (U+0130) in the contained textarea. Firefox 26 and Chrome
31.0 send it as HTML entity İ, IE 11, however, sends it as Ý (U+00DD).
A solution is to use UTF-8 encoding, as J.O. already mentioned.
