ASP.NET converts TM ™ symbol to a ? (question mark)

[RFH Reseller: creativeworks]

on a postback my vb.net pages are converting TM symbol to a question mark (?)...

any reason why a server would do this, global settings? is there an override for the web.config file?!

Is your web.config set to UTF-8 encoding?

[RFH Reseller: creativeworks]

my web.config is using:

<globalization fileEncoding="iso-8859-1" requestEncoding="iso-8859-1" responseEncoding="iso-8859-1" />

Defaulting to UTF-8 Symbols simply vanish...

UTF-8 should work, but it would also depend on how you are processing the text input, for example if you are storing these in a database table is the column set-up to accept UTF-8 encoding or some other encoding.

In addition, whilst the web.config may be set to use UTF-8 are any of the pages set to use a specific culture (perhaps you have some code in global.asax which is overriding the web.config setting).
