I have mathematical symbols e.g. *alfa*, *beta*,*mu* . When I copy these symbols in text area they are getting copied. I am copying them from word document. When I insert them into the database using prepared statement the symbols are getting inserted as code. for example the *alfa* is getting stored asβ. This is fine I guess. But when I retrieve them from the database using java.sq.Statement and displaying them in the html page they are getting displayed as code instead of symbol. I mean "β" is displayed in html instead displaying alfa symbol. So how to deal with this situation? how can I store symbols and display them properly in html?
I am using mysql database, java1.7,struts2.0 and tomcat7. *Thanks and Regards,* Muralidhar Yaragalla. *http://yaragalla.blogspot.in/ <http://yaragalla.blogspot.in/>*
