title: Replace special characters in string when copied from Microsoft word(for Classic ASP)
body: <p>I am trying to figure out an issue in my Classic ASP application, whenever a user tries to copy text from Microsoft word into Textarea placeholder &amp; save, it is stored in the Database as a??.</p>
  
  <p>I tried replacing special character like single quote using following statement</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p><code>Replace(Trim(Request.Form("Description")),chr(39), "'")</code></p></li>
  <li><p><code>Replace(Trim(Request.Form("Description")),chr(39), "'")</code></p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Both the above statements didn't work. It was able to find special character-single quote when I type in &amp; replaced it with ' when I use 2nd statement but for some weird reason it doesn't still work for Copy paste from Microsoft word.</p>
