Display accented characters MX7
i'm in process of transferring site cf5 mx7 (running on solaris 10) , have hit problem display of accented characters, appear little boxes.
have tried
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
all made no difference.
i thought may retrieval of data form database (oracle 8.1.7), boxes appear hardcoded text within template e.g.
<cfif session.lang 'eng'>
<a href="frame.cfm?lang=fre" target="_top">français</a><br>
<a href="frame.cfm?lang=spa" target="_top">español</a><br>
a square box appears instead of ç in français , instead of ñ in español
any assistance extremely welcome !

question: storing characters in db html entities or actual characters?
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp
the url above opens html entities list (it's iso 8859-1 character set) but, if scroll down, see entries n/tilde , c/cedilla:
ñ small n, tilde ñ ñ
ç small c, cedilla ç ç
this might not need wanted understand little more how storing character data in db itself.
cheers,
