Why are these caracters not being display correct

[Jon]

Hello all,

In my code im using Response.Write( someText) to write out some Japanese text
to a new browser window. In the command window, the text is correct, but when
the browser window opens it appears as ャーã �®ã‚¨ã‚ ¢æÅ*ϋÂ�Â�.

Why would this be so? My code is below:

Response.ClearH eaders();
Response.ClearC ontent();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.Append Header("content-length", strResponse.Len gth.ToString()) ;
Response.Append Header("content-disposition", "attachment;fil ename=Online
Form Results " + IDToDisplay.ToS tring()+ ".html");

Response.Conten tType = "text/html";
Response.Conten tEncoding = System.Text.Enc oding.UTF8;
Response.Expire s = 0;
Response.Write( strResponse);

Response.End();

Thanks all for help.

You may not be able to cant display Japanese textbwith UTF-8 encoding.
you'll need to use a japanese charset such as

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=Shift_J IS">

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib....codepage.aspx

I've never tried it but it may be
Response.Conten tEncoding = Encoding.GetEnc oding("SHIFT-JIS")

UTF-8 is a *Unicode* Tranformation Format and thus has no problems encoding
Japanese characters.

That's not the true Content-Length. Its value may be greater than the string
length.

Response.Append Header("content-disposition",
"attachment;fil ename=Online
Form Results " + IDToDisplay.ToS tring()+ ".html");
Response.Conten tType = "text/html";
Response.Conten tEncoding = System.Text.Enc oding.UTF8;

Did you check whether the browser did pick up the correct encoding (UTF-8)
from the HTTP response?
