Let's see my problem. I have a form with text input box. I type Árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép and I get " ÃrvÃztűrÅ tükörfúrógép " Beautiful isn't it? The page is: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType="text/html"%> <[EMAIL PROTECTED] pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Try encoding</title> </head> <body> <% try { request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); } catch (Exception ex) { out.println("Bad something: " +ex.getMessage()); } %> Hello <%=request.getParameter("nev")%> <br> <form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="index.jsp" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="nev"> <input type="submit" value="Send name"> </form> </body> </html> >If you use a database make sure that you persist your data in the >correct encoding. If my text came from database everything is correct. >If you convert from bytes to characters or characters to bytes makde >sure you use the correct encoding. I don't.
