We had web based application made in coldfusion 5 hosted on windows 2000 server. Now we have migrated our application on Coldfusion 9 and windows 2003 server. The problem we are facing is that some chinese characters are showing incorrectly on application pages. we have tried installing language pack and also there is no issue with browser.

Can anybody help us in this regard? Thanks in advance.

    Is this text in your CFM files or coming from your DB?

    If they're in the source code, you'll need to make sure the files are saved as UTF-8, and it's probably also a good idea to put a <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="UTF-8"> at the top of the templates too.

    If it's in the DB, make sure the datasource is configured to deal with UTF-8.

    It is in the data source. And the data source is ms access. We have just copied the database from previous server to the new one.
