DOCUMENT:Q295063 06-APR-2001 [iis] TITLE :CodePage Set to UTF-8 Generates Output w/ Mismatched Characters PRODUCT :Internet Information Server PROD/VER::1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 - Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you set the code page in an ASP script to UTF-8 (either by using @CodePage=65001 or Session.CodePage=65001), the characters may be mismatched and the output does not match the expected results. CAUSE ===== The encoding format of the ASP file page must be the same as the @CodePage used in the page. RESOLUTION ========== Save the file with the UTF-8 encoding setting. The version of Notepad that is included in Windows 2000 or later has the option to specify an encoding format when you save a file. For example, if @CodePage is set to 65001, which indicates UTF-8, you need to save the ASP file with UTF-8 encoding. If @CodePage is set to 1252, which indicates English or German, you need to save the ASP file with ANSI encoding.
