How to get non english words in Java?

Question

I am passing இயற்பியல் in subject name from Javascript to Java, while using alert in javascript.

alert(subject name);

இயற்பியல் is shown, whereas if I get value of subject name using

String subname=request.getParameter("subject name").toString;

..it's not returning.

var url="GeneralAction.do"; var parameters="param=add_regulation&subject name="+subject name; — Matrix, Apr 09 '13 at 05:05

What do you mean with "it's not returning"? What happens exactly? — Jesper, Apr 09 '13 at 12:10
Try to avoid space in the parameter name, that may also cause problems. — gaborsch, Apr 09 '13 at 12:11

don't put spaces in URL arguments. If you want to pass the subject name, use something like "&subjectName="+encodeURIComponent(yoursubjectnamevar), and make sure to then unpack it in Java as well, because it'll now look like %E0%AE%87%E0%AE%AF%E0%AE%B1%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%AF%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D
