Been searching a while now for the magic decoder ring that solves the UTF-8 encoding issue.
If I enter a mu (µ) by typing alt+0181 into my form field it looks fine. Then looking at the data in SQLDeveloper (Oracle) the data is 2 little boxes. NP I think the client encoding is wrong so I set my preferences to UTF-8 but µ is still 2 boxes. Still not worried yet but then I refresh or re-edit the field with the µ in it then it is returned from the database as two question marks. Same behavior occurs with the squared (²) sign...two boxes in db, two question marks in returned value on page. Anyone solve this yet? Thank you, Bill --
