I was troubleshooting a problem with a web form truncating.
On the server CGI, I dumped out the form name/value pairs that it was getting to a text file so I could review them.
To my surprise, the characters are in a different language, like this:
慳敶湉潣業杮ㄠⴱ㔲㈭″㔱㈺㨶㤱ഺ挊慄慴ㄽ㔰㜬ⰸㄱⰷ〱ⰹ㠹ㄬㄬ㐱㜬ⰲ〱ⰵ〱ⰰ〱ⰰ〱ⰱㄱⰰㄶ㔬ⰰㄵ㐬ⰹ㈵㐬
I've done this many, many times before and now all of a sudden it's different.
What's really weird is that data is still moving in and out of the database OK.
What in the world is going on?
