Hello,
Use the method ServletResponse.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") in a Servlet or
contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" in a jsp page.

But charset issues are tricky because all you files need to use a known
charset. And if you use a database it needs to have a supported charset also.
If your editor saves files in iso-8859-1 the problem is already there and the
browser wil never see the right character. So you need to debug where the
character is correct for the last time.
