I have a similar issue.. have not yet looked into it, but we have some
characters with accents and such that at least in LogCat don't show up
correctly. I expected as much from LogCat tho. I have, however, seen them
also not show up in displaying them as text in an overlay on a map. I am
using xml pull to get the nextText() and it stores as a String object. Like
I said, I've not yet looked into the matter... but since this topic came up
I will follow it and post my findings if/when I can get to it. I assumed I
might have to do something special when sending it. I am however using
Jersey for my REST call via GlassFish v3, and using JAXB. It also may be
that the web page I use to allow input of the data.. is not sending it
correctly to the server..and thus my DB may not store it correctly.

For the OP.. did you make sure before it leaves your server side.. it's
correct?
