Character probs w/ Web Server

Hello,
[Quoted] I am wondering if someone might know the answer to my problem. I have been trying to include some accented French characters in my PL/SQL code to be displayed on an html page.
For example, if I write the following procedure
PROCEDURE GEN_FRENCH IS
BEGIN
htp.htmlOpen; htp.p('á â Ç Æ æ ç é'); htp.htmlClose;
END; If I call the procedure from my navigator, the displayed text looks like:
<HTML>
a a C ? ? c e
</HTML>
Why is that? I know the database and PL/SQL can handle these characters, so what's wrong with the web server? I realize that I can use the special html codes such as é but this doesn't help me when I eventually want to dynamically create javascript. For example, alert('é'); does not work but alert('é'); does. So does alert('\351') but I would like to keep the coding the same between html and javascript.
Any replies to my e-mail shickey_at_frameworks.com would be appreciated.
Thanks!
