Foreign Characters & ASP.net

I'm trying to display Japanese characters on an asp.net web forms
application. I am about ready to shave my head too. The whole thing
is just silly.

Ok, inside Visual Studio I can enter Japanese into my code left and
right and it works without any problems. When I dubug the application
any Japanese characters on the page turn into garbage. If I have
characters directly on the page, garbage. If I have characters inside
a text label, garbage again.

But interestingly enough, if I put characters into a custom control
that I wrote, those display just fine. ??

The response encoding (and everything encoding) it set to "utf-8".

The culture and uiCulture are both set to "ja-JP"

??? What is wrong ???

I'm sure you've done this already, but check out the generated HTML and
make sure the first line is not:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >

That's what VS.NET generates by default. You may have to tweak it by
hand.

Well, there's a lot that's wrong with that particular line, but I've
never heard that it screws up character encoding?

Hi, I've got a problem with regular expressions and strings containing Swedish characters (åäö). I basically have a PHP script that highlights certain words in a text. I found the code attached below in the commented manual at php.net. It works great for all words that do not contain Swedish characters. The words that do contain åäö will not be highlighted.

the Journey of Foreign Characters thru Internet Xah Lee, 20051101 There's a bunch of confusions about the display of non-ascii characters such as the bullet "•".

I've got a problem which I think may be a bug in Postgres, but I wonder if I'm missing something. Two tables, A & B have foreign key relations to each other. A 3rd table C, inherits from A. A stored procedure updates a row in C, adds a row each in B & C. I get an integrity violation. All the foreign keys are deferrable, and the stored procedure is called from within a transaction with constraints deferred. (And the foreign keys do refer to...

I can enter the characters on to the page in Visual Studio without any problems, but when I run the app it shows up as...

Hi all, I posted a couple of weeks ago with what I thought was a problem with the file system reading accented characters however, after debugging line by line I have now found the true problem. I am storing a list of files in an XML file as a sort of database. Some of these filenames have accented characters (i.e. á é í ó ú or ñ). However, upon writing the filename to the XML file, the accented character is dropped. This causes a...

I get an error on a .net 2.0 page when I use foreign characters, such as ç or ã. Setting validateRequest=false handles this, but is there a way to keep validateRequest=true but allow foreign characters? I don't see how these would be dangerous (am I missing something here?).

I can't seem to get consistency in my application with foreign character handling. I'm creating a series of forms that update database tables. So, when trying to edit a form, the field values that show up are queried from the database. Occasionally, some fields will contain foreign characters - like ü, ã, é. The Session.Codepage is set to 65001. The charset also is set in the HTML code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML...
