  I am using IIS server, and writing few test pages, with just JavaScript.

  xmlhttp.open("GET", encodeURIComponent(foo), true);
      xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8");
      xmlhttp.send(); 

  This xmlHttp request gets the content of a text file (saved in unicode format). While I am able to get the content of file, but some characters like ' look weird with question mark tag.

  In response header I could see:

  Content Type: application/x-javascript

  The page in which, this data in getting updated has meta tag as follows :

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

  I am running it on my local machine : 127.0.0.1:9090/

  Thanks for time.
