Have you tried setting it to use unicode?
Here's more info on the subject:

Also, have you checked the Globalization section of the web.config?
Try changing it to something more like this:
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<globalization
fileEncoding="iso-8859-1"
requestEncoding="iso-8859-1"
responseEncoding="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
responseEncoding 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.
