Hi, I am wodering how to store and retrieve czech, or other utf-8 related language, characters using IIS

5.0 and SQL server 2000;
I try to explain:
at the beginning I was using the 1252 default codepage (with no charset specified) and some character was

immediately changed when posting toward a new page and, consequently, into the database;
then I found I microsoft suggestion (http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q232580)

that says to add the codepage session as 65001 (<% Session.Codepage=65001 %>) but with no success: now

the character not recognized are deleted.
Of course I have tryed to add and remove the utf-8 charset into the head with the same sad results.
Where is the mistake? anybody can give me suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Dino
