OK, maybe I was asking the wrong question. What do you mean by "access"
in "When I now access the parameters via $_GET in my PHP script, ..."?
Have you checked that when the Win-app sends U+3563 you get three bytes
of data (0xE3, 0x95, 0xA3) in your PHP script? What are you then
intending to do with those Chinese characters?
