The only way to ensure that all input characters get sent correctly is to use UTF-8 character encoding for the form data. This happens automatically if the page containing the form is UTF-8 encoded (and declared to be that); otherwise, use the parameter accept-charset=utf-8 in the form data.

Naturally, you form handler must then be prepared to handling UTF-8 encoded data.
