Having a slight problem with ajax posting words like Fushë Kruja to a php page using

      xmlHttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

I have tried urldecode and rawurldecode and using stripslashes before decoding but the last ë in Fushë keeps coming weird like FushÃ« Kruja

The php page and javascript have the correct encoding as they are the same pages that get Fushë Kruja from the database before i send it back

Any tips on how to solve this? :confused:
