The suggestion below worked for the display of the characters. "≤≥β√αγδ"

However, once I reloaded the record from the database the text now looks like this "de² ±³´".  This is also what it looks like directly in the database. Oracle

Do I need to do something with the data before/after sending/receiving to/from the database?

I'm fear this is caused by the collation or the character_set of the db table. I've never used Oracle, so I don't know how you can check this.

I've not understand one thing: do you always read the characters from the WOTextField or also in WOString? Because, if you have to print them, I suggest you to use html entities (even if you have encoding UTF-8).

Hi

  I would recommend to change de meta http charset to UTF 8 and add this to your Application class:

  public void appendToResponse(WOResponse response, WOContext context) {
        super.appendToResponse(response, context);
        if( _NSUtilities.UTF8StringEncoding.equals(response.contentEncoding()) && response.headerForKey("Content-Type").equals("text/html") )
            response.setHeader("text/html; charset=UTF-8", "Content-Type");

    }

    public WOResponse createResponseInContext( WOContext wocontext ) {
        WOResponse woresponse = super.createResponseInContext(wocontext);
        woresponse.setContentEncoding( _NSUtilities.UTF8StringEncoding);
        return woresponse;
    }

    public void takeValuesFromRequest(WORequest aRequest, WOContext aContext) {
        aRequest.setDefaultFormValueEncoding( _NSUtilities.UTF8StringEncoding );
        super.takeValuesFromRequest(aRequest, aContext);
    }

  Unless you really want iso-8859-1, but I don't find any reason to do so.

  Yours

Ok, so I'm about to release a new version of a WO application and one of the testers says "Hey, when I type the following characters into a text box, they don't show up correctly after I save the record. "≤≥β√αγδ"

So I do the same on the Macintosh.  I paste the characters and they look fine.  I save the record, exit and reenter the page and behold, they show up as "???????" where on Windows they show up like this "&#8804&#8805&#946&#8730&#945&#947&#948".

What's a lonely WO programmer to do, after doing some google searches and searching the WO dev list and still hasn't a clue what to do? I do know that in the html this appears <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
