Just for posterity...
Tried many combinations of various commands.... opening the file
as a binfile instead of a text file solved my problem
Changed:
open file vfile for utf8 text update
To:
open file vfile for binary update
At which point the same command:
write vdata to file vfile at end
properly saved the data as utf8/kanji to the file on the server.
All's well that ends well.

Hi Scott,
Added info; I have <?lc put header "Content-Type: text/html;
charset=UTF-8" ?> at the top of the web page source.
Then, I only found outputTextEncoding in the dictionary. It said
it only works with CGI (server), put when I put:
set the outputTextEncoding to "utf-8"
into the script before dealing with the $_POST array, it broke
the Kanji on the web page itself.
Googling turned up info on the textEncode function, but this
script still results with a saved file of gibberish and not Kanji.
Changed the script to this:
put $_POST[firstname] --(Results in Kanji name to web page)
put "data.txt" into vfile
open file vfile for utf8 text update
put textEncode($_POST[firstname], "UTF-8") into vdata
write vdata to file vfile at end
close file vfile
but still get a file with broken kanji.
Any hints?
Tim

Hello Tim,
Did you look at the textEncode function?

I am using Livecode Server on Livecode's hosting plan.
Taking my first stab at a web response form. I am getting the
data from $_POST fine, and when I simply do something like:
put $_POST[firstname]
the UTF8/Kanji word shows up fine in the webpage. But I am
unable to save the data to a file on the server encoded in
UTF8 (simply trying to collect the submitted data).
put "data.txt" into vfile
open file vfile for utf8 text update
put $_POST[firstname] & comma & $_POST[lastname] & comma &
$_POST[country] & the time & return into vdata
write vdata to file vfile at end
close file vfile
Data is getting saved, but in gibberish, not in kanji/utf8.
Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
TIA
