Thank you.
Unfortunately, the server with the aforementioned configuration is on the
intranet so it's not accesible from the outside.
The source code shows all Central European characters in their true forms
(unrepeatable here except, I think ©), as they should look like. I had the
similar problem on the same server with TextBoxes - in this case, CE
characters would simply get stripped and the text without them was entered
in the database. In the case of a DropDownList, as I mentioned before, if an
option with a CE letter is selected, DDL resets to first option and takes
it as selected one (if there's CE characters in the first option it removes
them from the text). Strange....
