SYMPTOMS
If the codepage is set to 65001 (UTF-8) in an Active Server Pages (ASP) page, the physical directory name that is returned from the Server.MapPath method may be truncated if the name contains extended characters.
For example, if a virtual directory named "myTest" is mapped to the physical directory "testå€", Server.MapPath("myTest") returns "test", not "testå€".
CAUSE
Server.MapPath internally uses UTF-8 encoding, which is specified in the ASP page, to convert the physical directory name that it obtains from the metabase to a Unicode string. Because the physical directory name is in a system codepage instead of the UTF-8 codepage, the string is not properly converted.
