Saving text with special characters was morphing it into all kinds of ugly extra things in an exponentially increasing sequence each time I saved.

You get the idea. The real cause may have something to do with character sets. Maybe I'm not declaring them right somewhere? I did manually insert this line in my HTML:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
in place of the instructions saying to insert this line, which won't work cross-domain:
<!--#include file="RTE_configuration/browser_page_encoding_inc.asp" -->
The good news: My solution in my PHP application was to pass the text through a UTF8 Decode. No idea how to do this in ASP but in PHP it was:
$content = utf8_decode($content);
I did the above just before adding slashes in prep for making an SQL command.
The bad news: Several characters still have issues however (enlarged for visibility):
- “ ” fancy double quotes
- • bullet
I'm sure there are others. They all turn into ? question marks when saving. Maybe I'll sleuth that out someday.
