I've only ever used UTF-8 in the past, as I found working with any other encoding (either getting data into or out of the database) to be pretty unreliable. SQL Server for instance isn't too good at storing double-byte characters, but works with Unicode fine.
The other issue is forcing ColdFusion not to encode everything as Unicode by default. You need to do this BEFORE the browser sees it (so in this case, the META tag won't help you). Haikal's suggestion will probably do the trick (not that I have tried it before).

Hey all,I'm trying to get some web pages to show in Simplfied Chinese encoding, but the standard META tag doesn't seem to be working.When I look at this page:All the chinese characters are coming up wrong, however, when I go to the View->Encoding menu and manually set the encoding to gb2312, it looks fine.I have the<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312">line in there which is supposed to set the character encoding, but my browser is defaulting to Unicode.This only started happenning when it moved from III5 on Win 2000 Server to IIS6 on Win 2003 Server. Is there a server setting I need to tweak to enable this?thanks.
