title: UTF-8 Server.UrlEncode problem in ASP Classic
body: <p>I'm having a bit of bother URL encoding a string of UTF-8 encoded text to pass over HTTP. I am using Server.URlEncode in classic ASP (vbscript) to do the encoding on the "é" character.</p>
  
  <p>It produces the following string,</p>
  
  <p>%C3%83%C2%A9</p>
  
  <p>The system I am talking to over HTTP is PHP however and it cannot decode this string. Using a PHP encoder at <a href="http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/urlencode.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/urlencode.php</a> the same character encoded using the PHP URL encoding method comes out as,</p>
  
  <p>%E9</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how I can successfully encode my UTF-8 encoded strings in my ASP so that the PHP system can successfully decode them?</p>
