I'm running into troubles when I return non-ascii characters from a
JPSPAN-enabled server to a javascript client, e.g. if I publish the
following PHP class through JPSPAN:

class Hello {
function hello() {
return 'Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn€';
}
}

If I call the hello function from javascript on the client side and
show the result with alert() I get a garbled string where all non-ascii
characters do not show up.
I assume this is a PHP side character set issue. is mbstring the way to
go ? Have you encoutered this problem ?
Thanks for your time
