Russian, Unicode and ASP

[James Lattanzio]

Dear Anyone,

I have an ASP file that must print a letter in multiple languages,
including Russian and Korean. When I put the Russian characters in the asp
page and then try to save the file, Visual Interdev objects and tells me to
save the file as a Unicode ASP file. I do this, but then when I try to run
the file the IIS server complains that it cannot run a Unicode ASP page.

To get around this I tried to read the Russian from a SQL Server table
and insert it in the letter using a Response.Write command. The printer
couldn't recognize the characters and printed question instead.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thank you.

First make sure that the characters are correct in SQL Server. Then set the
ASP codepage to utf-8 before the response.write.

session.codepage=65001

you may also need to tell the browser to use utf-8 with either an HTML meta
tag

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">

or by writing the content-type header with response.addheader
