Special Characters Chr(189) and characterset NOT display correctly on page
I was asked to post this in this forum( hopefully this is the correct forum).
I have special character 1/2 stored in the database( Select chr(189) aname from dual; )
I read ( using PL/SQL ) the special characters from a text file and insert into a table.
Select dline from mytable( I can see the 1/2 in the table. )
Problem is I cannot get the 1/2 to display on a web page. Instead it shows up as "A?"
How can I get the special characters (ie > 127) to display correctly on the web page?
I'm using classic ASP.
I have set
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
I have tried doing a convert( I tried several ways, below is just 1 example)
mySql="Select convert(dline,'WE8ISO8859P15','WE8MSWIN1252') dline from mytable"
