You cannot reliably use accented characters in HTML. You should actually use HTML character codes. I believe this is due to interpretation of the characters by the browser.

Have a look at this stackoverflow question which suggests a java library to handle this kind of stuff.

  • can i use this in my jdbc url ..? useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8 – Mercer Apr 13 '10 at 07:55
  • @Mercer it might if your JSP also sends a header stating it's UTF-8 so the browser knows how to interpret it. I believe that might just be more work, and less reliable, than converting the string. – extraneon Apr 13 '10 at 08:18

Wrong response encoding? Do you use the following directive in your JSPs?

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
