Kevin,
Is there any way you can convert the character encoding of your data in
your db to UTF-8 or UCS-2? That way all of the text in your page can be in
the same character set. You might also try to convert your data after
retrieving from the database using one of the String constructors that take
an encoding string as a parameter. The problem is that your browser can't
discern between the different encodings of the text in your web page.
