UTF-8 string conversion method to avoid character damage in SQL database

You may encounter character corruption issues when converting French characters to a SQL database. This occurs when the form input is in French and the data retrieved from the database shows the wrong character set.

To solve this problem, you can adopt Paul's method: remove the ConvertFromUTF8 function and add the following code at the top of each page:

<code></code>

Also, please ensure the following:

• Each page is saved using UTF-8 encoding.

• Include the following code at the top of each page to specify the character set and code page:

  <code>  Response.CodePage = 65001 
    Response.CharSet = "UTF-8" </code>

However, if Paul's solution doesn't work, you may want to focus on the following:

Key steps to ensure consistent results:

• Make sure every page in your web application follows these steps consistently.
• Included files should also be saved using UTF-8 encoding.
• Add the CodePage = 65001 attribute to the page that writes data to the database.

By following these steps, you can prevent character encoding mismatches and ensure that French characters display correctly in the database.
