I think, though I'm not sure, that you should be using the
with-html-output-to-string macro; it may be that at the moment it's
just printing it to standard output (whereas it should be returning
the page as a string). You could try something like (defun my-page ()
"Put some unicode characters here") to see if it's an issue with your
hunchentoot, though.
