Passing Hebrew encoded text by AJAX (windows 1255)

When making an AJAX call from the client, the server responds with Hebrew text. The PHP page that returns the result is in Windows-1255. For some reason, the result encoding is not Windows-1255, and all I see is gibberish instead of Hebrew. The result purposely contains HTML tags.

I've tried urlencoding, base64 encoding, nothing works.

Thanks!

beware: AJAX works only with UTF8, so be sure to convert characters before sending them, otherwise you can get mangled characters in Javascript.

Can't you change it so that the server return UTF-8 instead of 1255?

There's absolutely no reason these days to continue using ANSI.
