grasping at straws now.. does the page header contain:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

There is also UTF-16.. maybe you have to read up - although its a
slightly heavier load (instead of the normal set ther's thousands apon
thousands...) But I remeber that that didn't solve the problem  when I
had my Nigerian currency problem.. I remember that the encoding
problem wasn't consistant from Mozilla to IE.. ( worked fine in
Mozilla - but had to specify the font specifically in IE  - not
something you want to do when dynamically creating content..)

Have you managed to get a static HTML page up that displays these
characters correctly? - under mozilla  you can choose the page
encoding - get the static page to display using the mozilla setting
and work backwards form that..  Do the characters print correctly when
output from the server console..?
