Thanks for your suggestions.
As you suggested, the file 'neo-runtime.xml' has the UTF-8 encoding as default
character set. The strange thing is that when I input the below code in a new
file:
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8">
<cffile action="write" file="C:\sample.txt" output="objXML = Æ ae Ç à"
charset="utf-8">
within our system the file output is exactly as expected, and when I preview
this in a UTF-8 enabled viewer I get the correct output. However, when I modify
an existing file (within our system) and insert the above two lines, the UTF-8
encoding seems to be forgetten and I can only encode Unicode characters using
the CHR function. This is a bit strange. Can you identify why?
So what I am saying is that I must explicitly set the cfprocessingdirective tag
to store UTF-8 characters, however when I insert this tag in an existing file
we are still left with this problem but instead we use CHR function to store
these strings.
