jQuery ajax call in IE - encoding

I have an ajax POST request with some data being passed to the server side. This is all working nicely on all browsers, but in case I have some specific characters, it fails in IE9. For example, sending "John Smith" through POST works just fine, but if I try "Rafał Szukała" (please notice specific l letter) in IE9, the browser doesn't pass them properly so I end up with band server response. Mozilla's working fine with this string btw.

Any ideas how this can be solved?

The solution which worked for me is pretty close to what Joseph Marikle mentioned, with some more details:

contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",

I see that you are using jquery by the tag on the question. Therefore, if this is a jQuery.ajax call you're making, you can specify the content type of the data with contentType attribute. You would need a unicode type like UTF-8.

This then needs decoded correctly on the server side.

At least that's my best guess. :P
