hello, I've embedded some secret on my page:
<br />HASH_…àEŠ€^×ÓdÔWcuRºû„QP¢„Up<br />

On post back, it became:
<br />\0H\0A\0S\0H\0_\0…àEŠ€^×ÓdÔWcuRºû„QP¢„Up<br />

The difference between the two is "\0" character. What is it?

Thanks

You're probably finding that a unicode string is being converted to bytes, each character has two bytes, and for ASCII characters, the first is a zero.
