RE: FN-FORUM: Displaying International Character Support

Have you tried installing the correct language support in windows.

Go to your control panel, select regional and language options, install the
appropriate language and fire up your browser again and see if its
displaying correctly...hopefully that should fix it.

It may need a reboot first, well you never know with windows (:

Subject: FN-FORUM: Displaying International Character Support



I'm trying to display Chinese characters on ASP pages that are pulled
directly from a SQL Server database. The field type in the SQL Server db
table supports unicode (nvarchar). The collation of the database is
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI. I have added unicode support in the ASP with
the meta tag:



... Needless to say none of this displays any unicode characters in the HTML
as anything except squares. Even when viewed directly from SQL Server via
Enterprise Manager and Query Analyser they appear as squares. I've checked
with the author of the Chinese stuff who assures me that he can see every
character perfectly.

Any ideas anyone? - All help gratefully received :)
