Synopsis

                  
                  SetEncoding("Form|Url", charset)

Sets the character encoding for form or URL variables to charset when the submitted form or URL data is not in Latin-1 encoding. charset lets you specify a Java character set to use for the encoding. The most common character sets are UTF-8 (the default), UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, US-ASCII, and ISO-8859-1. You may use any character set supported by your JRE. The following example assumes the page is receiving a form post with form field data that is not Latin-1 encoded. Is simply sets the encoding to UTF-8 and dumps the form scope to the browser:

<cfset SetEncoding("form", "UTF-8")>
   
<cfdump var="#form#">
