I am posting from a HTML form (below) to a aspx webform.
This works OK but I notice the £ character (pound sign) is dropped! i.e. not
picked up by a Request.Form["X"] in the webform e.g. input = 12£34, output =
1234
Please would anyone say why this is?
<body>
<form name="Form1" method="post" action="WebForm 3.aspx" id="Form1">
<input name="X" type="text" id="X">
<input type="submit" name="Button1" value="TheButto n" id="Button1" >
</form>
</body>

Have you tried setting it to use unicode?
Here's more info on the subject: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...gbasetypes.asp
Also, have you checked the Globalization section of the web.config?
Try changing it to something more like this:
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<globalizatio n
fileEncoding="i so-8859-1"
requestEncoding ="iso-8859-1"
responseEncodin g="iso-8859-1"
/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

ISO-8859-1 is *not* Unicode.
The problem is that the HTML page uses its own encoding to submit the
data, which unless specified is ISO-8859-1. So either change the
globalization element (this can also be done by code BTW), or encode
the HTML page properly, i.e. save it with UTF-8 encoding and add a
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
tag to the page.
Note that there's little reason to downgrade requestEncoding and
responseEncodin g from UTF-8 unless every single byte transmitted
counts, or content is solely intended for North American or Western
European users (excluding the French, who forgot to include some
characters in ISO-8859-1 ;->). I recommend encoding the HTML page
instead.
In theory, the form tag's "accept-charset" attribute allows one to
specify the encoding of form data regardless of the page's own encoding
or browsers settings, but this attribute lacks proper browser support.
