Perserving characters in Session object

[Joe Molloy]

Hi,

I am having a problem storing Irish text in a session object - Irish text
has some symbols (á for example) that are being lost when I retrieve the
text from the session.

Any ideas how I can deal with this - the characters are being displayed
correctly on the page itself if they come from the database or any other
source rather than the session object.

Acutally after a bit of further investigation I discovered that by default
asp.net uses UTF-8 (unicode) for everything which would accommodate these
characters. What was happening in my case was that I was using the thycotic
remote scripting component to do some server updates and to send such
characters to the server requires that you urlencode them first as that
component seems to rely on a hidden frame in the page to call the remote
script.
