Okay. This dunbfoinds me.

A form submits a textfield with a value of "Potluck Café & Catering"

The processing page returns somethign completely unexpected

Code:
<form action="" method="post">
 <fieldset>
  <input name="job_employer" type="text" />
  <input type="submit" value="submit" />
 </fieldset>
</form>

<%
WITH response
 .write request("job_employer") '= Potluck Café & Catering
 .write request.form() '= Potluck+Caf%C3%A9+%26+Catering
END WITH
%>

The issue is that é is not = %C3%A9. That returns Potluck Café & Catering.

This make any sense to anyone?

 
Ah, nevermind. There is something going on down the line that is misinterpreting the hex codes.
