Greek Cyrillic fonts in XML

[Kiki]

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to display text in greek or cyrillic in a .NET
page using text stored in XML format. I'm getting the greek words
displayed like this: "ÄéÜöïñá". I'm no expert but this is nota
greek word. Has anybody got any ideas of what i need to use to diplay
these fonts (i think Russian is in the same category too) correctly on
the website? - i will carry on searching and will post the answer if i
find anything.

Thank you
K

You need to set correct codepage, e.g. UTF-8. ÄéÜöïñá looks like
posiibly Greek word browsing as Latin-1.

Response.Charset = "Windows-1253";
Session.CodePage =1253;
Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1253);

Thank you for your response..

Are you sure your data is actually in Windows-1253 encoding?

I was only asked to display the data this guy's sending me through and
that's what he told me it was.. Is there a way for me to check? (i'm
sorry about this but this is the first time i've had to do something
like that)
Thanks again
