Yes, absolutely. If this is a posted value and some filter fires that coerces the encoding (e.g. request.getParameter() in the case of POST) of the request, all subsequent filters and the servlet will see the string in the encoding of the first filter. This is why it's important to set the encoding as early in the servlet processing pipeline as possible. For your particular case it's hard to imagine an encoding in practice that would make that string appear incorrectly. Both iso-8859-1 and utf-8 should handle Ü correctly.
