first check the following :
in browser try to change the html page encoding to your own locale and also try to change it to utf-8 , in FF you can use view / Character Encoding menu to change the page character encoding.
if it does not works , please try these steps and post back here if you faced problem.
you need to do :
1-set the page encoding to UTF-8 , something like :
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>
2-use meta tags to set the browser used encoding to UTF-8
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
3-
you should(by my experiences) save the
jsp file in UTF-8 encoding , IDEs do this automatically after you add 1 , but to ensure this you set the file encoding yourself.
do you read some text from a database and then try to show them on jsp page ?To make sure that your jsp file shows correct characters , use a bundle file add some messages to bundle file and use them in your jsp page.
