title: JQuery AJAX is not sending UTF-8 to my server, only in IE
body: <p>I am sending UTF-8, japanese text, to my server.
  It works in Firefox.  My access.log and headers are:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/ajax/?q=%E6%BC%A2%E5%AD%97
  Accept-Charset  ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
  Content-Type    application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Howeer, in IE8, my access.log says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/ajax/?q=??
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For some reason, IE8 is turning my AJAX call into question marks.  Why!? I added the scriptCharset and ContentType according to some tutorials, but still no luck.</p>
  
  <p>And this is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
      method:"get",
      url:"/ajax/",
      scriptCharset: "utf-8" ,
      contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
      data:"q="+query ...,
      ...
      })
  </code></pre>
