Hi, thanks for reading this ...

I am passing this value (for example) to PayPal:

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Ménàge à Trois California Red Wine 2007">

The Pay Pal Shopping Cart displays this value as 'M�n�ge � Trois California Red Wine 2007'

I'm guessing that this has something to do with character sets or some such - I have tried a few different ways of coding the special characters but so far no luck ... any one got a clue?

thanks,

Simon.
