UTF8 on LC server

[Tim Selander]

Thanks, Warren.

Yes, I've got that header set up, and UTF8 is working fine, pages look 
great. But LC server is not handling character chunking in variables the 
same way as LC desktop. In desktop, I can say "put char 1 of variable1" 
and I get a Japanese kanji. In LC Server, I only get half a kanji. 
"Word" chunks are also not working. Items and lines are OK.

I never got the hange of all the encodes and decodes needed for Japanese 
in LC 6 and earlier... but does LC server require those kinds of text 
manipulations?
