I am using JSP pages and I am trying to get the UTF-8 value from query string using the statements as below request.getparameter("q");

It is working fine, it gives me the appropriate results but when I am trying it using IE9 it gives me ????? instead of unicode value.

My question is how do I get proper unicode value from query string using JSP that will gives correct values on all browser including IE, and what statements I need to add within JSP page to get correct values at IE as well.

Please help me in this regard.

thank you

In the jsp page directive you need to set content-type to utf-8 (for each jsp page)

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" %>

If still problem persist then use this SO question to handle encoding for DB, Tomcat. HERE
