Problem with cookie and htmencoding (danish characters)

[Namespace]

Hi

I have a search page (aspx) where users have the option to "remember" their
search criterias. I use a a cookie to store these criterias. No problem in
storing and retreiving these values from the cookie, but when users enter one
of the special danish characters (æøå) then thise characters are displayed
with their associated escape character (e.g. "ø" is represented as "ø"). The
values are correct in the cookie. I retrieve the values like this:

Me.label1.Text = Server.HtmlEncode(Request.Cookies("CookieName")("V alue1"))

Any idea how to fix this - I have tried to put "codepage=65001" in the @page
directive.

Thanks
Peter
