> What return type of getfeatureinfo are you using?
> There are three possibilities: http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html

> 1. text/plain
> 2. text/html
> 3. gml

> If you use text/html; you can set the character encoding to windows ansi:

>
> If you use GML, because it is a "flavour" of XML, mapserver MUST serve
> UNICODE:(UTF-8 or UTF-16);http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-well-formed
> So if the gml output is not converted to unicode; please file a ticket for
> this matter in the osgeo trac database.
