Peter's advice is the starting point. Assuming the data makes it to you
sound, the SP simply exports the data as UTF-8 (no matter what specific
XML encoding it started with). If it's corrupt that usually means your web
environment on the server side is corrupting it in the way in which you
access the header data. Some times this can involve the encoding of the
web page submission to the server from the client.

I don't use ASP so I cannot give you any special advice on this apart from
trying it myself some time.

I know of some Java settings that can affect this in a servlet
environment, but that's not helpful here.
