David,
I had this problem quite a few months back for the first time and was
not able to solve it... Untill It surfaced again last week.
The solution I used is fairly simple, here is my entry for this issue.
Let me know if it works.

Description:
Webapp does not recognize accented characters (eg. �,�,�...) and display
a question mark instead.
Solution:
This is a locale issue. Characters are captured properly, only when they
are displayed they get modified to a '?'. There is no loss of data when
using a system with this issue.
To fix the problem, you need to set your LANG OS specific environment
variable to the language you use.
Try adding this line:
export LANG=en_CA
to your tomcat/bin/catalina.sh and restart tomcat.
It should look like this:
...
# OS specific support. $var _must_ be set to either true or
false.
cygwin=false
case "`uname`" in
CYGWIN*) cygwin=true;;
esac
==>> export LANG=en_CA
# resolve links - $0 may be a softlink
PRG="$0"
...

Subject: Special characters
Hi,
I installed Tomcat 4.1.24 in a Solaris server and I'm
using a JSP form that received special characters
like: � � � � �. The action of the form send an e-mail
(using javamail). When de tomcat process the e-mail
changes the special characters with "?".
I used the directive
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
%>
but it isn't working.
I installed Tomcat 4.0.6 and the error is the same.
I used java.net.URLDecoder and java.net.URLEncode and
isn�t work too.
Can you help me?
Regards,
David
