I was trying to figure out how to get international scripts to work in an ASP page for practice. I heard the SqlServer doesn’t support UTF-8 but MySql does, so I downloaded MySql 5.0. I made a quick table with some English words and My name in Thai Script in the third row. This worked fine in the table (See Below)

But when I made this the datasource of a gridview on a ASP.Net 3.5 page. It displays the garbage characters in place of UTF for the Thai Script. When I enter this same text into the body test of HTML, It displays correctly. How can get this to display right in the gridview?
