Please do not multi-post to several newsgroups.
Usually, it is the responsibility of the application to ensure that data is
encoded correctly between the browser and database.
I believe that IIS6 is able to correctly handle your scenario, assuming the
web application correctly read the encoded data. We have tests that are
able to submit characters from multiple languages SIMULTANEOUSLY (including
Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, German, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese
(Simplified), etc ) on a form to IIS6, have it saved correctly to SQL, read
from SQL, and reflected back to the client -- and we do this when IIS is
running on different OS languages -- so I believe that IIS6 should be more
than able to handle your scenario.
English characters tend to work because most character sets keep them at
identical index -- so it can accidentally "work" even though you do not have
character encodings configured correctly at all.
My question is more concerned with how your application ensures that data is
correctly encoded between the browser, server, and into the SQL database,
because any misconfiguration will lead to questionmarks/unknown characters.
Can you describe how you configured all this for IIS5 and IIS6?
Key information:
OS System Locale/Language for client and server
Browser Language configuration.
UTF8 allowed by browser
Response/Request encoding specified by the web page platform
etc...

I 'm having a web pages working probably in IIS5 (Windows2000), the web pages has a form submitting an Arabic characters into SQL database. When doing so using IIS5 (Windows2000) it works fine, and when doing so using IIS6 (Windows2003) it gives marks and unknown characters, however, when i submit an English characters it works fine with me. Actually my team did the best trying to solve this problem so does anyone knows whets the wrong with system or the environment. -- Yours, Rany M.
