I recently changed my web.config file to iso 8859-1 for the request
and response encoding.
This created another problem: my forms storing information with data
type varchar suddenly replace all Windows curly quotes into question
marks (?). This didn't not apply with ntext.
This said, I can't find anywhere on the web example code on how to at
least replace the curly quotes.
If you have a clue let me know.
Cheers,
Kim

I don't believe ISO-8859-1 includes curly quotes. Any reason for using
8859-1 in particular? In general, I'd suggest using UTF-8.

That is correct and that's my problem. If I use UTF-8, passing special
characters (such as יאח, etc.) in the URL suddenly causes problems.
Yet, it is essential for the search on my site ( http://www.monuc.org)
which actually opens the google search.
Many messages on the groups suggest to change from UTF-8 to 8859 for
foreign language sites. This works well, but the why does it work fine
for the ntext and not varchar? Mystery, mystery.

Ah, you didn't say it was passing the information on the URL.
Data being passed on a URL is fairly dodgy in terms of encodings,
unfortunately. Can you not make a POST request instead and pass the
data in the body?

Check this, but I believe ntext is unicode and varchar isn't - use
nvarchar instead and you should be okay.
