UTF-8 not parsing properly - suggestions?

[Devin]

Hi,
I have an asp script that prints out a directors structure. However
there are some french characters in the folder names and they don't
print properly. (they come in as a japanese character, it looks
like).

I have included this html tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>

I'm thinking the problem lies when the file name is read.

Suggestions?

Make sure the server is sending UTF-8 as well, the meta element is
almost useless.

Any suggestions about how I would do that?

RESOLVED.

Including:
<%@ codepage=65001 %>

At the top of the at the top of the page corrected this.

This might also be necessary:
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Type", "text/html;charset=UTF-8"
Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"


Thanks!!

Since the ContentType and CharSet properties of the response object control
the value of the Content-Type response header there is little point you
attempting to add the header yourself.

If you have static content in the ASP page that is outside of the ASCII
range you should save the ASP page using UTF-8 encoding as well.
