Yeah, I had problems with UTF-8 as well. Know what? It worked after I
changed it to charset=UTF8 (without the dash). So I have this page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF8" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="UTF8">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%= new String ( "\u00EF" ) %>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Note that the META tag also works with "UTF-8", and that without the META
tag the browser does not display the page as unicode.

>> <FORM NAME="test" METHOD="GET" ACTION="inputtest.jsp" >
>> Type some text: <INPUT TYPE="textarea" NAME="input" VALUE="<%= input
>> %>"><BR />
>> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="submit" VALUE="Submit"><BR />
>> </FORM>
>> Request character encoding: <%= request.getCharacterEncoding() %><BR />
