And you don't see any problem with this line?

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=ANSI;');

Try charset=UTF-8 instead

Generally speaking, you should do the following when using AJAX in conjunction with PHP/MySQL for example:

1. Is the database encoding set to UTF-8?
2. Do you use UTF-8 for the PHP/database connection? (like "set names 'utf8'")
3. Do you use Javascript's encodeURIComponent() when sending data to the server?
4. If you use special characters in plain text (like Javascript source files): Does this source use UTF-8 encoding? Check your editor!
5. Do you set the Request-Header to UTF-8 (see above)?
6. Do you have a meta tag in your HTML setting the charset to UTF-8?
7. Do you set an output header from your PHP files to UTF-8? (header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); )
