You seem to be very confused about this. The string on the right doesn't need to be encoded to unicode, it needs to be decoded from whatever encoding it has back to unicode. Since you haven't specified any, it automatically picks ASCII. The unicode string on the left doesn't have any encoding attached to be used as you wish, simply because a unicode string doesn't have an encoding attribute. An encoding is used to convert unicode to a string and the resulting string will have a given encoding. -- Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
