Retrieving chinese characters stored in a cookie

Question

Hi,

I have a text box which needs to get the data from the cookie. Characters in the cookie are in chinese (丽), however when i try to retreive it and assign it to the text box, then it gives me the garbage characters. Could anyone please help me to resolve this issue.

I have checked the cookie value and its is storing the chinese character (丽),

I have already tried using system.web.httputility.htmldecode with not success. I also have <meta> tag added with the character set set to UTF-8.

Please guide me to resolve this issue 

P.S:- The hardcoded text for other labels and buttons are displaying chinese characters

Hi AmitArabatti,

It is a pity that your issue is off-topic here in this subforum.
Please try to use "gb2312" encoding to have a test.
Or please post out your critical code snippets here for friends' convenient to help you.

If friends here can't do good to your issue. I will give you a further suggestion for better support.

Sincerely,
Leo Liu
