Asian Characters not displaying correctly

I use ASP to get to an oracle database using ADO. I am trying to dissplay a
record which has mixed characters - Asian, spanish, English etc.

I have set the session.codepage to 65001 and the meta tag to uf-8 as well.
Yet I am not seeing the mixed characters. I see inverted question marks
instead.

I am on a win XP Pro SP2 system running IIS 5.1

Any help is welcome. thanks.

VERY DELAYED REPLY!

Have you got the language packs / files installed for the relevant language?
Check your regional / language settings

RE: Asian Characters not displaying correctly

Thankyou for your response. I fixed it. Apparently microsoft's odbc driver
for oracle does not support utf-8. I downloaded and installed oracle's odbc
driver and that did the trick.
