theoretically you are right, but unfortunately in real applications , it

then why am i keeping on getting garbled symbols instead of traditional
chinese chars?
by the way, other than the strings retreived from the bean, other big5 chars

it seems that the problem occurs when the data is stored in the hahtable or
when it is retreived.
thanks again for your help.
best regards :)
