Exactly. However, OP should have made us a sample to look at, guesswork is not so useful.

Make sure that you use the correct encoding, e.g.

HTML

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

hi thanks and what about classic asp?

It's a html meta tag and will work for classic ASP as well. It just informs the browser that the page contains UTF-8 encoded characters.
