Greetings, As you are going to display the content by HTML, you have first to standard how the the Yen sign could be displayed in the browser.
HTML to display a yen dollar sign: <html><body>¥</body></html> Checkout other sign from there : http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html#h-24.2.1 In JSP, <%='\u00A5'%>, would not produce ¥ for you. So, do the translation by yourself is necessary -Victor From : "manoj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 12/06/2002 12:19:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Victor HT CHEUNG/HD/HKSARG) Subject: [jdjlist] Re: Problem displaying currency symbols Hi, I think the browser does not have those char set, So you need to install those charecters in the browser to support different Locale's char-set.
