How do I return the entire field through ASP?

Characters Replacements
I have a database with names, lastnames which has special characters to be seen (10-15 of them), for example: "{" has to be "š". I emphasize - those characters are not to be replaced in the database, but just to be replaced when go to the screen.Is the only way to do that function replace in the user function that has to be made? I have to say that I have to make the similar function for data entry - input also, which has to replace those characters before - for example search.

Special Characters
I'm writing an ASP application in VBscript that will take an exported Goldmine contact record and import it into our on-line system. The problem is that I want to export the Goldmine unique ID so I can re-import data back into it and make sure it goes to the right account. However, the account numbers in Goldmine are very interesting, here are a few examples: A4100648391)Q1JV{Ral A4082964730(__+;7Joa A4091653262&<SB/{Jas A4091738208 SVU{Jef A4082964760$MVPP7Mar A4093057759$#7)6{Bru A4101172112(M;I97Mic A4101172124)6[(Y7Edw A4102056041&+C J7Joe As you can see, there is a wide assortment of characters in an account number. The problem is that when I try to import it into the online system it breaks ASP because of these characters. I've tried adding slashes before special characters, but then trying to remove them is impossible because the same slashes could be used in the actual account number.

Unusually Characters
I have built my first ASP site which allows users to update content of the site via forms which I was feeling quite smug about. However I have noticed some unusually characters appear on the site. The characters vary depending on which machine I am viewing it on but consist of �, ? or a small square. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this before or is it to do with this bit of code? Code: dbconn.commandtext="UPDATE tbl_areaintros SET introtext='"&Replace(request.Form("introtext"), "'", "''")&"' WHERE introid="&request.Form("introid")
Query Containing Certain Characters
I want my query to pull up only those entries which a certain field contains the characters "2005". This is what I was trying--obviously wrong Code: SQLQuery = "SELECT First, Last, Newname, grad, Datestamp FROM GuestBook WHERE Datestamp contains '2005' " The field, Datestamp, is a text field not a date field. I know the command isn't "contains" but I just couldn't think of what it was.
Strip Characters
I have an ASP page which has a form for user to input some information and it gets stored in an Access database.

So if they input Macy's, when they go to the next field the previous field gets updated to Macys instead.

Japanese Characters
I am hoping to modify a current website such that both english and japanese characters can be entered and displayed. The access database displays both the english and japanese fine. When the asp executes only the english text is retrieved and the japanese displays as question marks. Is this because my adodb connection to the database does not support the japanese characters? Is there another way to do it?
International Characters
On first ASP page there is a FORM that user must fill - personal data & stuff, where users use special language related characters (like Č, š, Ž...). When I post the form results to another ASP page that collects the data with Request.form("field"), special characters usually (90%) disappear, change into boxes or some other characters. This page should then write the results to a DB or send it via email, but since the characters are not encoded properly I did not write the script yet. I tried to set Codepage and charset, but it does not solve the problem. I can't seem to find a solution on the web since I am not sure what to look for.
