Response.CharSet = "big5"
dim rs
dim dbConn
strConnectString = "driver={SQL Server};server=xx.xx.xx.xx;uid=clarkyip;pwd=pw;database=clark"

set dbConn=server.createobject("ADODB.connection")
dbConn.open strConnectString

sql = "SELECT * FROM StaffName"
set rs = dbConn.execute(sql)

do while not rs.eof
response.write rs("cNAME") &"<br>"
rs.movenext
loop

Response.write "<BR>"
' CodePage = 65001
'Response.CharSet = "utf-8"
Response.Write "Unicode: 陳 大 文"

Hi, Thanks, the result I got will be only the UTF-8 text can be displayed is known now. However, any suggestion to let my page displaying 2 charset? Thanks again.

Don't know if it works, but make 2 different files - first one for displaying the DB with Response.Charset = "big5" and second one for displaying the remaining text with Response.Charset = "utf-8" and in the bottom of the file where you display the DB contents, write either

or
Server.Execute("file2.asp")
or
Server.Transfer("file2.asp")

I actually don't know do they act as 2 different files and i fear that browser takes these 2 as one whole content in big5 charset - only acceptable solution is in this case using frames, if it is acceptable.

Hi Thanks j2nku, I tried your suggestion to separate them into 2 files, but it still fails. Thanks again and waiting for any possible suggestion.

Actually, it's the situation in one of my client. The site is hosted by themselves, so I cannot decided whether to use frame in their page or not.
They have this problem since in the same asp page, the first page then will load from db to display some text (UTF-8), and the lower part they will have some text by copy-and-paste work from other source, which they found that the pasted work is not in UTF-8, while in Big5 format, so they everytime need to paste the text directly into the db, or save as a unicode text file and re-copy-and-paste them.
Before I posted here, I also beleive that only one charset is allowed in a page, now I can very much sure for this, and will explain to them. Although the problem is a unsolvable problem, still very thanks for all of you to confirm my understanding.
Thanks.

if you read the article i posted earlier you will see it is not possible

See this:
