globalization problem

Hi,
My application is speaking Hebrew. Which means writing right to left and non Latin charset. I read the instructions in http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/cultureencoding.aspx and also in :
http://www.tau.ac.il/~danon/Hebrew/HTML_and_Hebrew.html
Which both are saying that the way to do it is to put
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
in the page.
They also say that I should put in the web.config the tag
<globalization
requestEncoding="utf-8"
responseEncoding="utf-8"
culture="he-IL"
uiCulture="he-IL"
/>

Which I did.
The problem is that it does not work. Every text that I insert from the HTML code is garbage. The text that comes from DB (access) is OK.

I think I read somewhere that the web server has to have a module to support such languages. Is that true? If yes, does Discountasp server support it?
If not, do you have an idea about this issue? Maybe any experience with other languages that use non Latin charset?

Many thanks for any response,

Yuda
