Thanks very much.
Its possible I misunderstood the problem. Here's the full symptom I ran
into.
1. If you type a copyright character (ALT-0169 in windows), and use the
Javascript escape function on it, you get %A9. escape("C")=="%A9"
2. Passed in a form POST, my .NET server decodes it as an empty string.
3. Stepping through the Request object in debug mode shows the encoding set
for UTF-8.
4. Manually test: HttpUtility.UrlDecode("%A9",Encoding.UTF8)==string.Empty;
5. Manually test: HttpUtility.UrlDecode("%A9",Encoding.UTF7)=="C";
It's a bit odd to me.

JK,
JavaScript encodes data in UTF-8. Your server will need to account
for that if you're going to use AJAX.
