[Sorry, I forgot to change the subject line. I'm resending this so it threads correctly in the archives.]

In my initial message, I noted that the entering the following string
into a web form:

M=FC! (second letter is umlauted 'u')

Causes the web browser to encode it as follows:

M%FC%21

This doesn't look really correct. M=FC! as a URL encoded (Hex bytes) string=
 should read M%C3%BC%21.

Indeed, the UTF-8 chart I am looking at lists %C3%BC as the way to hex-encode the umlauted 'u'. However, every web browser I've tried sends that character as %FC.

Even if the web browser sends %C3%BC for the character, though, decodeURLComponent doesn't interpret it correctly... the following command:

msgBox decodeURLComponent("%C3%BC")

...yields a dialog box containing a square root symbol and a degree symbol (values C3 and BC from the MacRoman encoding).
