In my site I use Unicode… I hoped when I’ll connect Flash Builder to my server (using Data -> connect to HTTP ) It will work with my API sending Russian text as UTF-8 but instead it sends Þûõó ïúушúøý to my API and so to DB and so on instead of my favourite UTF-8 Русское Имя 2… So what encoding uses flash builder and How to make Flash Application send UTF-8 data to my server or some other readable format?

    The Flash application is sending UTF-8 to your application, but you’re interpreting it as ISO-8859-1. Make sure your application keeps all data in UTF-8 all the way through and this won’t be a problem. (Outline of using UTF-8 with MySQL.)

    &#1056; isn’t UTF-8, it’s an HTML character reference. You don’t want your client side to be sending you HTML-encoded content and you definitely don’t want HTML-encoded content inside the database. Keep it all raw UTF-8 bytes until the moment it goes onto an HTML page (and then use htmlspecialchars() to encode < and & in the text, but leave non-ASCII characters alone.
