Sounds suspiciously like your database isn't configured for UTF-8

Hi Remke,
thanks for the link to the tool, quite useful. The header is correct in
my case, though.
Here is a simple source example:
String original = new String("A'l�>&[\u05E9]");
String out1 = new String(original.getBytes(), "UTF8");
out.println("Original: " + original + "<br />UTF-8: ");
out.println(out1);
The result is seen in the attached screener.
I don't understand why the two outputs differ and would like the '�' to
be printed as such. It is printed correctly coming from my ressource
files, but not coming from the database. When I change to Latin-1 all
works fine.
