Hi All

We are facing an issue with chinese simplifed character encoding on one of our stage server  (it works fine on all dev / QA and other stage server).

The page output is converting chinese characters into question mark, diamonds and other shapes . 

Scenario is

We are using IIS ARR reverse proxy to integrate some of our global sites into EPiServer site . We've a page in CMS which takes the iframe src and iframe loads the external site using reverse proxy.

Those external sites are in English and Chinese languages .

All sites works fine .

However one of the page for a external chinese site is mangling the characters and thats only happened in one on our stage server. While direclty access that external page shows no issues, its only causes encoding issues while iframing into our EPiserver page.

We've compared all the settings such as machine.config, globalization, IIS settings, and page meta tags which is gb2312 as expected,  between working and non-working version of page and no difference spotted.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Kashif
