Not sure if this helps and depends what you're trying to do with the text, if you want to output them to a page, putting this at the top of the .cfm page should help. cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = utf-8 I had problems displaying foreign characters until I included the above on the pages. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354708 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

My first guess is that it is happening when the file is read in. Was it saved as unicode? I think notepad lets you do that. If not, notepad++ does.

Re: Localization , French Accents...
Just a note on this: the cfprocessingdirective tag used in this way simply tells the CF compiler to treat *that file* as UTF-8 when it's compiled. IE: if the file itself has UTF-8-encoded text within it, the compiler will respect that when the CFML is compiled. It has no bearing at all on displaying or reading UTF-8 encoded data (which are only relevant at runtime, not compile time). -- Adam On 27 February 2013 18:52, Akos Fortagh akos.fort...@yahoo.com wrote: Not sure if this helps and depends what you're trying to do with the text, if you want to output them to a page, putting this at the top of the .cfm page should help. cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = utf-8 I had problems displaying foreign characters until I included the above on the pages. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354729 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
