If you are using Jikes on your Debian system, then this is a known problem with no other work-around than to use javac.
If you are using javac, then you must make certain that your JSP file has been saved with the same charset that is specified in your "<%@page contentType=...%>" directive (or iso-latin-1, if there is no contentType directive). Since the JSP-1.1 spec that Tomcat 3.3.x implements doesn't have the "<%@page pageEncoding=...%>" directive, as an implementation detail it uses the same encoding as the "contentType" directive. The intermediate ".java" file (which you can check in the $TOMCAT_HOME/work directory) will be written using UTF-8 encoding (which is why Jikes fails, since it can't be told to read UTF-8). Javac will be instructed to compile the file as UTF-8, so everything should work from here. Hopefully, there is enough information here to allow you to pin down at what stage the encoding is breaking.
