Hi Sarah,
 
I'd be interested to hear how you got UTF-8 to work fine with CF5. I can only assume you must have restricted information being inserted?
 
Also on the current issue at hand, I assume you have the following before displaying your submission page?:
 
<cfset SetEncoding("form", "UTF-8")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Subject: [cfaussie] CFMX and Character Sets

 
Hi All,
 
Has anyone had any success with CFMX and foreign characters?
 
Situation:
 
- Submission Form
- character set as UTF-8
- when submitting any 8bit characters over 128, they are either being dropped (text haults at that character) OR characters are being converted into bogus wingding like characters
 
This all perviously worked fine on CF5, as it appears that CF converted the characters on the fly prior to submission to the database, e.g. &eacute;
 
So either CFMX handles character sets differently OR the JDBC driver is causing grief?
 
Anyone able to shed any light on this?
 
Failing that, I'll simply run a function over the submitted text and manually convert prior to inserting into the database.
 
Thanks,
Sarah.
