You're right about that. I have: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> > > 2. What about the issue I'm having sending the data?

Do you have an example page? Actually I'm using UTF-8 for that exact reason. This application will be (at some point) translated into as many languages as I can get. Based on your information I think my problems will be solved once I get the server to serve PHP as UTF-8 (I think I can do this via .htaccess). Thanks for your help with this! Chris.
