Extra
Foreign chars handing and cfexecute
Please note that the cfexecute tag reads the output using the InputStreamReader but it doesn't specify a charset so defaults to the platform default.
You can get the platform default with:
<cfoutput>#createObject( "java", "java.lang.System" ).getProperty( "file.encoding" )#</cfoutput>
