title: Classic ASP - How to convert a UTF-8 string  to UCS-2?
body: <p>I have a problem where I am storing a UTF-8 string in SQL Server as UCS-2. When I pull it out to display on a page with content-type set to UTF-8 it works fine. But I have a third party Javascript component which when I pass it the string for the database it renders it as USC2. Or not UTF8.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way in ASP to convert this string to UTF-8 after reading it from the database to pass it to the third party component (obfuscated)?</p>
  
  <p>Hope this makes sense.</p>
