title: 'é' is getting converted to 'Ã©' while submitting data from jsp to servlet
body: <p>I have a page where username will be retrieved from a db and displayed in a jsp page. This username contains a French character <code>é</code> and is displayed fine. But when I submit the user details form in the jsp, this character is converted to <code>Ã©</code> in my servlet. I have put alerts in javascript and saw that the value is correct before form submission, so I suspect that something went wrong in between the form submission and value retrieval.</p>
