I had the same problem, the correction differs by which application server you are using.
If it's Tomcat, try here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat near uri charset. I use glassfish, and I added this entry to the wiki after getting help from this group: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrGlassfish I hope this helps.

After further inspection I noticed in the field analysis admin that swimsuit gets expanded to ba�adores. Not sure if it will show up but the "n" is a black diamond with a white question mark in it. So basically, how can I add support for foreign characters?
