Russian Alphabet

Is there something special that needs to be setup in Cold Fusion Administrator to be able to display the Russian Alphabet correctly. With a CFM extension on the file name the Russian text comes out as weird ASCII Characters but with an HTM extension to displays correctly.

    encoding issue. what version of cf (unless somebody changed it for the whole
    server, cf6 & above defaults to utf-8)? what encoding are you using to create
    the cf files? where is the text coming from?

    The .cfm page and .htm page need this in the <head> of the page:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    I tried that but the problem must be related to something else because it still displays the Russina text incorrectly.
