Hi
U can not help urself if u are getting such a junk out of non-english
characters. The browsers does not have anyway to know what kind of <charset>
is set when sending the parameters. So they send all the charactes in
ISO-8859-1 format..try this code to see the Korean characters...
String newStrng = new String(inputString.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"EUC-KR");
also don't forget to set the char set of the response to EUC-JP.....
hope this helps u,
regards.

���� : trouble getting html form parameters
