Re: õ vs õ ( Character Encoding + Server.HtmlEncode problem)

The cause of the problem is this.
```
// this renders õ correctly
myLabelTextBox.Text = myBusinessObject.DatabaseColumnValue;




// But my code is like this
// This converts my õ into &#245;
myLabelTextBox.Text = Server.HtmlEncode( myBusinessObject.DatabaseColumnValue );
```
According to the MSDN Documentation for Server.HtmlEncode,
the method encodes with the following rules. (Note: DBCS means Double Byte Character Set)
Quote from MSDN ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525347.aspx ) If the string to be encoded is DBCS, HTMLEncode converts characters as follows:
- All extended characters are converted.
- Any ASCII code character whose code is greater-than or equal to 0x80 is converted to , where <number> is the ASCII character value.
- Half-width Katakana characters in the Japanese code page are not converted.
But I really NEED to use Server.HtmlEncode( myString ).
Is there a way still how to make õ renders as it is?

Thanks,
