From my understanding, the container converted the parameters to a
standard Java String class (Unicode). The problem comes in where there is
no standard way for the browser to denote what character set the
information is being submitted in. Some browsers go by the
Accept-Language header. The information is in Unicode once you get it in
Java. Is this not correct?
