I'm confused (I haven't read the original thread). Why would you need to do any sort of UTF-8 conversion anywhere? All browsers except Navigator 4.7, I think, will give you UTF-8 and print UTF-8 properly if you declare the content-type correctly (which presumably axkit already does). I wouldn't imagine you have to do anything to make this work. I've tried pasting chinese chars into a textarea a year ago as a test. It worked fine. > Does anyone have any insight into this problem.
