Hi

When POSTing a form from a Cold Fusoin page to a (PERL) CGI script, any £ signs get interpreted as £ . I.e. the  symbol gets inserted in front of the character.

Does anyone know of a workaround this bug which doesn't involve changing the PERL script. Why isn't it sent across as £ in the same way that & is sent as & :confused:

Is this particular to CF? Also, some browsers (NS7 & IE 6 on any platform other than NT) are ignoring the
 character, but it is still present (I can see from my logs).

Thanks
