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..? C.
