You'll need to add a globalization tag in your web.config file, somewhere after configuration tag. Example;

<globalization fileEncoding=iso-8859-9 responseEncoding=iso-8859-9 requestEncoding=iso-8859-9/>

The iso-8859-9 thing here is for Turkish characters, google Chinese character sets, and change the fields in the example accordingly. I hope this is the fix you're looking for, have a nice day.

(PS. Write the character set codes between double quotation marks, for some reason they are removed from the example when I submit the message)
