The BBC website behaves differently on different pages with respect to "A�".
Search for "A�" on the main page, and it works OK. However, do the same on the search Results page, and you get the behaviour you are seeing. [You can have fun with the Search Results page - if you repeatedly press enter, the string keeps growing!] I think the difference in behaviour is because the home page uses a charset of 8859-1, whereas the search page charset is utf-8. The string "A�" seems to be valid in iso-8859-1, but not in utf-8. By the way, the BBC web-site gives q = A%FF when I use a browser as above. I'm not sure that A%C3%BF is the utf-8 equivalent of "A�". Seems to me that JMeter needs to know the input encoding in order to get the correct output encoding. But I'm not sure how to fix this. S.
