Saving Classic ASP in UTF-8 Format

I have classic asp files (IIS6) that need to be saved in UTF-8 format. I
save a file with Notepad using SAVE-AS & UTF-8 format. If I reopen the file
using Notepad and bring up the save-as dialog is defaults to UTF-8, which is
good. But after the file is modified and saved using Visual Interdev the
format switches back to ANSI format, which causes some international
characters to display as little boxes in the browser. I found one comment on
the internet about making sure the Meta tag with Charset=UTF-8 must be in the
file to instruct interdev to use the UTF-8 format when saving. This seems to
work on some .asp files but not all.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank You

Don't use Visual Interdev, I don't.

You should also have:-

<%@ codepage=65001 %>

at the top of your page.

Here is a sample asp page, that always reverts back to ANSI format when
saved by visual Interdev.

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%@ codepage=65001 %>

<%
'language Indicator
Const SPANISH = "SPA"
Const ENGLISH = "ENG"
dim mvarLangCd

mvarLangCd = Ucase(Request.QueryString("LangCd"))
If mvarLangCd = "" Then
mvarLangCd = ENGLISH
End If
%>
