I suspect that your character conversion might be wrong. In particular, %C9%CF%BA%A3 isn't valid UTF-8 code because if the first byte starts with %C the second byte of a UTF-8 character can't be higher than %BF.
%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7 works. That's two 3-byte UTF-8 Chinese characters. My newsreader couldn't handle the Chinese characters that you posted, and I can't guess how to decipher %C9%CF%BA%A3, so I got the two Chinese characters to encode from the Wikipedia page for Shanghai. Error 400 is a bit odd. It's not defined for HTTP geocode requests, but for GClientGeocoder requests it means Bad Request. -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
