    Hi,

    I'm developing a J2EE application on a BEA weblogic 7.1 platform.
    When a user posts special characters in my forms like the degree
    symbol °, french or german characters with accents and umlauts (è, é,
    ä), ... those characters are received at the server as 'Â' or 'Ã?'
    followed by the special character that was typed. I have been
    searching on newsgroups and websites to find a solution for this
    problem, but haven't found one yet. Does anyone have a suggestion on
    how to solve this, or where to find more information about using
    extended character sets properly in html forms and web applications?

    Thanks a lot.

    BTW, I'm curious to know how google handles the special characters I
    have used in this message and how some non-european users might see
    those characters in their browser or news reader.

    Greets,

    Luc Feys
