Your HTML page should specify the charset in a meta tag in the header: <meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">. Replace utf-8
with the appropriate charset designation for Chinese characters.
Then in your servlet get the parameter:
stringToConvert = getParameter("name");
On the project I work, we created a utility function to do the conversion. We
pass the string obtained by getParameter, and a string that specifies the
character set used by the web page:
byte[] Bytes = stringToConvert.getBytes("8859_1");
tempStringUnicode = new String(Bytes, stringsCharSet);
