Special characters (accents, graves,umlauts etc) are displayed in
HTML by using the format:
à for �
ä for �
etc
At some point somebody will have to do this translation for you. I
wouldn't expect Oracle to do it, I could be wrong.
One quick debugging would be to look at the Source of the generated
code and see what you find there.
Hope this helps.
