utf characters from SQL to ASP page
i have a field in my sql table with hebrew characters. The field type is varchar. In my database the information can be read with real letters.
When I try to pass that information onto my asp page, I am getting just ??
The asp page is utf encoded:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
What do I need to adjust?

I think you need to change varchar to nvarchar

sorry it is nvarchar.
actually there is a page where I have an admin section for our administrator to view the information from the table and add new data, the text does come through properly.
Yet, not on this page:

Thank you
What is actually being stored in your database? If you simply use hebrew characters with utf8 is should work. Are the characters stored correctly in the dbf when you look directly at the data?
