[thelist] Unicode in QueryString

[Rob Smith]

Hi list,

Special Characters (Unicode) are translated via a code:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_ref_urlencode.asp
throughout querystrings. After looking at this page, is there away to avoid
this taxing function:

function replaceUnicode(value)
'replaces all Unicode chars from %00 to %ff
   value = replace(value,"%00","æ")
   value = replace(value,"%20"," ")
   value = replace(value,"%21","!")
   ...
   ...
   ...
   value = replace(value,"%ff","ÿ")
end function    'replaces all Unicode chars from %00 to %ff

At first glance, it seems like it would be the most straight forward path,
but extremely time consuming. Is there a better way to skin this cat (my
apologies to the environmentalists).
