UTF-8 deserialiation problem

[=?Utf-8?B?T2xhdiBM?=]

I have made a web service operation that just return the input string that
is sent as a parameter. If the characters in the string is, for example the
Norwegian letters "æøå", the returned string is not deserialised to the same
string as sent in. I have checked that in the returned soap message, the
letter are binary the same.

I have caught the serialized soap message and it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:tns="http://localhost:8080/EDMWS/earlybinding/DataRepository/gurumod/QEX/gurumod_ws"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<tns:return_string>
<EDMsessionId xsi:type="xsd:string">OK</EDMsessionId>
<IN_STRING xsi:type="xsd:string">æøå</IN_STRING>
</tns:return_string>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
The returned soap message is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

The request and response look the same to me. How did you determine that
they are different?

In the Visual Studio, the debugger shows "??????" as the response value.
