i have checked the access database. when i open the access table, there =
also i am finding the rectangular block whereever i expect apostrophe .
also i have started using server.htmlencode for retrieving values from =
the database. but it displays the new line characters and paragraph =
characters (<BR> and <p> notations) stored in the text field as such. =
meaning instead of using these characters as commands for new line it is =
displaying them as it is, ie as "<BR>" and "<p>". in this way the =
paragraph boundaries has gone.
please help me with the above two problems.

Thanks for posting one of your problematic characters. I think one of =
the problems is that a number of distinct concepts, such as charset, =
font, and locale, are being blurred together. At first you mentioned =
having problems with the single and double quote characters, and defined =
them as apostrophe character ' and double quote ". Recently you posted =
the =E2=80=98 character, which I assume is what you meant by an =
apostrophe character. It certainly looks a lot like what I would call a =
single quote, but if you put my single quote ('), and your single quote =
together, you can see that they are different: (=E2=80=98'). Well, =
maybe you can see the difference, and maybe you can't. It all depends =
on what font the characters are being displayed in. I think in general, =
if a font does not contain a glyph for a character, then it displays a =
square or rectangular box for that character. I think most fonts =
contain glyphs for all characters in the range Chr(32) to Chr(127). =
Many fonts contain glyphs for characters in the range Chr(128) to =
Chr(255) too. Many fonts also include glyphs for some characters in the =
range ChrW(256) to ChrW(65535), which are Unicode characters. My =
knowledge of Unicode is limited, so some of my terminology may not be =
technically correct, and I would appreciate being corrected.
Copy the code below into a .vbs file and run it. You will get two =
message boxes. The first message box will contain two lines:
Hello *'=CE=84=E2=80=98* Unicode
=CE=84=E2=80=98
The first line contains a mixture of what might be considered Unicode =
and non-Unicode characters. The three characters between the asterisks =
(*) might all be considered single quotes, but only the first one is =
Chr(39), the character I consider a single quote. The second one is =
ChrW(900), and the third one is your single quote, ChrW(8216).
The second line displays what is left of the first line after removing =
all characters whose AscW value is less than 255.
I included the ChrW(900) character because it illustrates how =
differently certain characters may be handled.
The second message box contains info about the two Unicode characters:
1 =CE=84 63 ? 900 =CE=84
2 =E2=80=98 145 =E2=80=98 8216 =E2=80=98
The six columns contain the following:
1) i (position within the string)
2) Mid(s, i, 1) the character at position i.
3) Asc(Mid(s, i, 1)) value of the character, sometimes and sometimes =
not.
4) Chr(Asc(Mid(s, i, 1))) Character associated with the reported Asc =
value.
5) AscW(Mid(s, i, 1)) Unicode value of the character.
6) ChrW(AscW(Mid(s, i, 1))) Character associated with the reported =
AscW value.
The Asc function almost always returns an 8-bit value, and AscW =
returns a 16-bit value. For certain Locales, Asc returns the same =
16-bit value as AscW. See the scripting help file for info on the =
GetLocale and SetLocale functions. The thing to note is that depending =
on Locale, for some Unicode characters, the Asc function returns returns =
63, a value that corresponds to a question mark, and for others it =
returns a value under 256 that displays the same character as is =
displayed by the Unicode character. So ChrW(900) maps to a question =
mark but ChrW(8216) maps to Chr(145). I don't have any examples that =
would produce the inverted question mark you talked about in your early =
posts.
Your posts talk about a number of code pages and charsets, like 65001 =
and utf-8 and iso-8859-1. I believe that charset 65001 represents all =
characters as fixed-length two-byte values, so it can handle all the =
thousands of standard Unicode characters. UTf-8 is a variable length =
encoding that uses one to four bytes to represent a character. It can =
handle all the characters that charset 65001 can handle. Charset =
iso-8859-1 can only handle 256 8-bit characters.
I think you should build a little standalone VBScript that displays =
many of your problematic characters in something like the six columns I =
did above, and post the result. Perhaps we can figure out a way to fix =
the problem after you show us what the problem is. It might help if you =
tell us your Locale number too. Control-C can be used to copy the text =
from a message box.

i changed the codepage tp 65001 and charset to utf-8, then the =

=E2=80=98
the database field also shows the same character stored in it.

My guess is that they are not " " but are =E2=80=98 =E2=80=9C =
=E2=80=9D typically cut'n'pasted in from Microsoft Word.
These are still in the Windows-1252 range of characters but are =
not strictly in the iso-8859-1 set.
Don't use http-equiv meta tags use real headers instead.
IOW ditch the meta tags and include this:-
<%Response.CharSet =3D "Windows-1252"%>
I'm not hopeful because you are probably using IE and IE will =
treat ISO-8859-1 as Windows-1252 anyway.
Always use Server.HtmlEncode on values retrieved from the =
Database. Stop mucking about with any other approach.
If that doesn't work view the html source from the browser. What =
is the server actually sending.
Another alternative is stop using Windows-1252.
Save your pages as UTF-8 change the codepage at the top of the =
page to 65001 and include Response.CharSet =3D "UTF-8" in your page.
BTW, Have you looked at the field content directly using the DB =
management tool?
