unicode problems with mx7

hello all

setup: coldfusion mx 7.0.2, sql server 2000 db

i have a weird problem:
- the page is multilanguage and everything is programmed in utf-8 as charset. database fields are nvarchar.
- problem language is czech with some special characters:
- if i enter the text directly into the database using ms access adp, the data is stored correctly in the database and displayed correctly in coldfusion with cfoutput.
- but if i have a form and SAVE data into the database. SOME chars are altered and the data is not saved correctly into the database. see a jpg of this here
- a quick testprogram worked fine : small form, post the text to itself and output the formfield.

so, the problem seems to be the java database-connector (native cf version used). what am i missing or which settings are messed up?

thanks for some help... :)

Hi,

I have the same problem. But I am using CF 8, Oracle 9i.

I actually try to enter my Traditional Chinese char in the following site, it works.
