We are developing a web site in Greek langauge. The problem is when we retrieve and display data in Greek language from database it converts the data into another form
Example:
Quote:
Data "Προχωρημένη αναζήτηση" from database is displayed as "?p?p???? ?a?a?t???st???"
I am using following meta tag in header:
Quote:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1253">
Database is MS Access.

charset=iso-8859-7 and charset=windows-1253 works fine for Hardcoded Greek characters.

The problem occurs when I display Greek data from database. Please click on following link to view screen shot of a page

The data in Blue Color Square Box is database driven data.


Any idea..
Any help..

In that case all I can suggest is to use a different database where you can set the collation.

Access is a Latin_General collation I believe
