We are in process of migrating from CF5 to CF 7.0.  During this migration we 
are moving from character set iso-8859-1 to the default (utf-8).  We are 
passing a chunk of text in a form field with "<br />&nbsp;" in the text so that 
the same formatting which was on the originating page, would be shown on the 
action page.  When we export the action page to an Excel format, even though we 
used ReplaceNoCase to eliminate the &nbsp; they are causing a problem in Excel 
in which there are Oriental characters (牋燩) being displayed.  If I do not 
pass the &nbsp; in the form field, or I add <meta http-equiv="Content-Typ!" 
content="application/msexcel; charset=iso-8859-1"> to the Excel export it fixes 
the problem.  The first solution is a big rewrite, the second forces us to use 
an old character set.  Does anybody know of a problem with the character set or 
Excel which is being fixed?
