I have an input field on my html page where the user can enter

  • 0

I have an input field on my html page where the user can enter Unicode text, for example i enter : ыва ыва ыва ыва ыва ыв

When the form is posted, i check the value posted and it is posted as : ыва ыва ыва ыва

The content type of the page is set as :Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

When i display the posted value on the webpage, it shows as ыва ыва ыва ыва instead of ыва ыва ыва ыва ыва ыв.

How can i fix this to display properly? Do i need to do convert the encoding ? I believe c# strings by default are utf8, and my html page charset is also set as utf-8 – so not sure what’s going on.

Update:
Here’s my ASP Page :

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="utf8.aspx.cs" Inherits="enterprise10._garbage.utf8"
    ValidateRequest="false" Theme="" EnableTheming="false" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>

    <form action="" method="post" runat="server">
    <asp:TextBox ID="UserInputText" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    <br />
    <asp:Label ID="UserInputLabel" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
    <br />

       <input type="submit" />

<b>    Sample Text displays correctly on the page : </b><br />
    ыва ыва ыва ыва ыва ыв  



    </form>
</body>
</html>

Code Behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            UserInputLabel.Text = UserInputText.Text;
}

    Adjust the encoding of your application, in the web.config file set the desired encoding for requests and response (under <system.web>)

    <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />
