    URL decoding failure

    Hello,
    I'm having some problems with decoding urls on IIS6.
    When I click on URL UTF-8 encoded, resulting querystring replace any non english chars with question marks. Why? I use UTF-8 encoding in my pages !!! 
    For example, if you open http://www.qmpeople.com/ you can see a link in the middle of the page http://www.qmpeople.com/tag/%D1%84 containing an UTF-8 char properly encoded . If you click on it, target page shows incorrect querystring "404;http://www.qmpeople.com:80/tag/?"
    In fact, unicode char has been replaced with a question mark. Why? I'm becoming crazy because I alredy tried a tons of different solutions.
    As you can see I use a 404 custom handler to manage all tags and all pages involved use UTF-8.
     
    Thank you

    The one thing I can think of is make sure the localization is installed and available on the server.

    Yes, in the same page ( http://www.qmpeople.com/tag/%D1%84 ) you can see at the bottom page, the same tag correctly displayed in UTF-8

    For that reason, there's only a decoding problem, but... what??
