Hi guys, I've run into issues here I notice that some accentuated characters if I try to pass them as value sin an ajax call they end up all funny LIke for example:
Adana Şakirpaşa
turns into
Adana %u015Eakirpa%u015Fa
WHats wrong here :(
EDIT==================
The problem is that once the characters are recieved by my php script on the backend they are all messed up by then! What should I do :(
Java/ECMAscript parses \uxxxxxx sequences but not %u... in the source text.

You can convert the transport form with the javascript function unescape()
e.g.
<html>
<head><title>...</title>
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="output"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
var x = 'Adana %u015Eakirpa%u015Fa';
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = unescape(x);
</script>
</body>
</html>
shows
Adana Şakirpaşa
But you might consider to store and send it as "plain" utf-8 characters server-side.
I have run into the same problem and have used utf8_encode() on the data in the php script that was called using ajax to solve it. I think you can also use htmlentities().
