Russian Characters not getting supported by WAS6.1

[Neha Soni]

We are migrating a project from RAD6.0 (websphere v5.1) to RAD7.0 (websphere v6.1). We are facing problems while displaying Russian characters,
they were getting displayed properly as "??? ??? ??? ???" in the earlier environment but are displayed incorrectly
like this "����� ������������� ��������� ��������" in the new environment (RAD 7.0 webspehere 6.1).
Required settings for Russain characters are already done in desired JSPs as mentioned below but we are not able to nail the problem faced by us.
%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;"%
In head following line is added.
META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1251"


We tried some WAS 6.1 server setting like autoRequestEncoding and autoResponseEncoding being set to true and also tried with all combination
of autoRequestEncoding and autoResponseEncoding {(false,false),(true,true),(true,false),(false,true)} but still russian characters are not getting displayed properly.
