Special Characters

I made Web Project by VB.Net and it is successfully operating.
However, as this is some engineering use, the characters requires special characters such as
" ° " or "m²" . I applied those special characters to .aspx files.
When I call that page through browser, the returns are diferent from applied characters.
Doesn't server support special characters? or am I wrong in applications?

 

Use UTF-8 encoding.

 

insert

 

utf-8 is a universal standard - there most certainly shouldn't be any differences in how it's handled...on any platform for that matter.

I used chr(-21022), the ASCii code of " ° " in program, and I found in web.config with paragraphs as follows already


<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />



I also insertes paragraphs into page <meta ........... utf-8"> as instructed.


The results redirected to that page comes with errer "The page not found".


I tried same in localhost, the results are OK.


I think there is some difference of utf-8 handling between localhost and the server.

 

The problem was finally solved.


There were more than one ascii values for special characters.


For example, by VB.net asc("°") replies -24221, but chr(-24221) returns error.


I scannedchr values of numbers and found another ascii codeas 176.


Chr(176) works OK.


Thanks for helps, Mr. Bruce and Madsen.
