Thanks for the info Dave! :)
I did a search for ColdFusion and Unicode and came up with a document
Matt Robertson published... turns out just adding the character set to
a cfcontent tag seems to have fixed it.
The editor in this case is members' client browsers, so I can't always
be certain the user will enter unicode characters, but I'm hoping that
using setEncoding() will resolve this at least most of the time if not
all the time.
