Unicode characters and ado.

[Bilal Abbasi]

I have an Access 2002 database which stores unicode characters. I am using
adodb.recordset object to display these fields on a web page. If I were to
try and show a character like 'l', i.e. l with a slash in it, ADO seems to
convert it back to l. Do I need to use some conversion function to return
the unicode character instead of ascii aquivalent?

ASP uses unicode internally but when string data is sent out to the browser
(via response.write for instance) the data is converted to the web-server's
default codepage.

You need to set the session to return UTF-8 to the browser. I think you do
session.codepage=65001
