Below is a short jsp page that illustrates the problem I'm facing
the result on my local dev environment is Adrián Beltré
the result on the gae servers is Adri��n Beltr��

can somebody explain the difference ?
is there a way to decode these string to get the accents back ?

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.BufferedReader" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.InputStream" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.InputStreamReader" %>
<%@ page import="java.net.URL" %>
<html>
<body>
<%
String urlString = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adri%C3%A1n_Beltr%C3%A9";;
InputStream content = new URL(urlString).openStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(content));
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
if (line.contains("<h1 id=\"firstHeading\"")){
out.println(line);
}
}
%>
</body>
</html>
