This is good info. I had fixed most of my problems with keeping consistent use of the UTF-8 character set throughout my code. However I still had a problem on AJAX submissions which is why I suspected the javascript code and found this article. I had every bit of my code set to UTF-8 and it still converted non-standard characters like smartquotes and ellipsis and en/em dash to junk. It wasn’t the JS though. I finally found I had to set my web server software (Tomcat for me since I’m using Java) to UTF-8 as well. This site was helpful to me – http://www.jvmhost.com/articles/tomcat-java-mysql-jdbc-and-unicode . As you see there, I added it to my Connector directive. That article showed a way to do it independent of the server, but it involved a clunky conversion like – name = new String(request.getParameter(“name”).getBytes(“ISO-8859-1″), “UTF-8″); – and that seemed ridiculous to me, especially after I already set the request object to use UTF-8 encoding from the beginning.
