Hi,

I am currently fighting with a ERD2W application and unicode character support. 
Some chars simply do not make it into the browser display. One example is "→" 
(right arrow).

DB is Oracle 9 running on WinNT, development on Snow Leo

I can copy/paste that particular char from an Excel table into the database 
using SQLDeveloper. The arrow gets there and stays there. However when I access 
the DB with my D2W app the char shows up as "?". As far as I could see from the 
debugger the correct symbol makes it into java vars, but then it gets lost 
somewhere. Connection string for Oracle ends with the parameter 
"?charSet=utf-8" (interesting side note: EOModeler inside WOLips cannot 
generate SQL when this parameter is there (SID not known), app however seems to 
run fine with it - is this a bug?). I thought that PageWrapper.wo is the one 
being used - and there I have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" 
content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
declaration but obviously this page wrapper is not being used as none of my 
headers lines show up. And nowhere in the rules file can I find any rule for a 
different page wrapper. The page in the browser does not have my header lines 
and thus lacks the charset declaration.

How do I get the correct right arrow symbol to show up from the database in the 
browser - and how do I make sure that when the user edits some fields and puts 
such a char in that the right thing goes to the database. I must be missing 
some simple things...

Thanks for help
