because your data isn't unicode but you're telling the browser it is. it's like being told your blind date is an english speaking russian ballerina but she turns out to be a nose guard who can only converse in pig-latin. wouldn't you be confused? one single encoding for all your data end-to-end is a lot simpler than trying to juggle dozens of page encodings. there's articles on cf dev center & cfdj about this. also chapters in the advanced cf books as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
