Hi

I am developing a .net (2003) website, I am using a UTF-8 encoding, most of
the website is in Hebrew.

Hebrew is properly displayed ONLY when I set the "Language for non-Unicode
programs" in the regional settings of my computer to Hebrew, otherwise I see
gibberish.

As I am using UTF-8, I was expecting the pages to display properly
independent of my regional settings.

Does anyone have a clue ?!

Help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Most likely somewhere in the date flow there is a conversion to ANSI.
