"windows-1250" IS WORKING : I mean, in servlets and in JSP too (when set as <%@ %>). The above mentioned code does NOT change the Content Type correctly to ANY encoding. Anyway, I tried to change my encoding to "Cp1250" which is listed in sun's encoding.doc.html. BTW, windows-1250 is Windows Eastern European, not Chinese, but this is not important at the moment... ;-) Cp1250 causes the same wrong result. Anyway, I also tried (just for fun) to change the Content Type to "text/html;charset=Big5". The result is the same, without any chinese signs... So what will be the next try? :-)) Thanx again.
