like ???
How can I do to be able to see that characters from an ASP page.

Is the data stored as unicode?

Does the calling server have the language installed?

How do you define the content-type on your page?

I have got this meta tag 
<meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=utf8">
and yes the data is stored as unicode

Have you tried putting Response.charset="utf-8" in your ASP before reading 
the data?

I assume the browser has the download to display utf8? Seems it's still a
mime-type thing, is this the first thing written to the browser? If not, it
assumes plain text/html, you may need frames to display it as a separate
page.
