How do I load and save a UTF-8 document in XML in ASP/VBS?
Well, the loading* is not the problem actually -- the file is in UTF-8,
and understood correctly -- but once saved, the UTF-8 is replaced by
what seems to be iso-8859-1 (which Flash doesn't understand, but that's
another problem). Any help greatly appreciated.
* Something like this...
set xDoc = server.createOb ject("Msxml2.DO MDocument")
xDoc.async = false
xDoc.load sPath
7  5001

I am pretty sure if you then use
xDoc.save Server.MapPath( filename)
later then the encoding is preserved.
Are you by chance saving by writing xDoc.xml with the FileSystemObjec t?
The MSXML 4 docs say about the save method:
"Character encoding is based on the encoding attribute in the XML
declaration, such as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windo ws-1252"?>. When
no encoding attribute is specified, the default setting is UTF-8."
which supports my view that the encoding the document has when being
loaded is preserved when saving.

Thanks so far Martin, this is my save method:
xDoc.save server.mapPath( sPath)
So no, I'm not using the FSO...
Any idea what's happening?

You say the file is saved as iso-8859-1, does MSXML really save it with
that encoding and put a
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
in there, or why do you think that MSXML saves as iso-8859-1?

Let me put it this way. I use my own Netpadd editor, which doesn't
support UTF-8. I know because whenever I open UTF-8, I see this "i>?"
as first character. So when I want to open UTF-8, I use Notepad.
The files however that *were* UTF-8 when I put them in this tool which
I'm programming (a simple text translation tool), they are coming out
"fine" for my non-UTF-8 Netpadd once they are saved. So they lost their
"UTF-8ness" without me saying so in ASP!
Thanks so far, and hope you have more hints!

UTF-8 does not by itself add special characters to the start of a file. If
the files are plain XML the first non-whitespace character should be "<".
Unicode files do have 2 special characters at the beginning.
What operating system are you running on when you open files in Notepad? The
version of notepad included with NT, Win2000, and WinXP Pro is capable of
saving files in ANSI, Unicode, or UTF-8
How are you opening the files from the ASP script? If possible show the
simplest *working* code (just read and then write the file) that duplicates
the problem along with a sample XML file.

Frankly to use a tool that doesn't understand UTF-8 to check whether a
file is UTF-8 encoded doesn't sound like a reliable way, it might simply
be a byte order mark at the beginning of the file and that mark is
optional in UTF-8.
I don't really how to help on that, I would use an XML parser to check
whether the file is properly encoded, simply loading the file in IE/Win
should do to check that.
If you have the application online then post a URL (or better two, one
to the original, one two the saved XML) then someone here could check
whether it is really UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 what you get there.

It's already solved, IIRC I posted this here already.

I have an asp application that should allow the user to enter Unicode
characters.
The characters appear correctly in the browser.
When saved in sql 2000 thought they are converted to question marks
etc.
When I enter the characters directly in SQL (using enterprise manager),
they appear correctly in sql as well as in the browser when the asp
page retrieves them.
As soon as I hit save they get overwritten in sql incorrectly.
