If you are using tomcat, try adding "URIEncoding="UTF-8" to your tomcat
connector.
<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
use the analysis page of the admin interface to check to see what's
happening to your queries, too.
http://localhost:8080/solr/admin/analysis.jsp?highlight=on (your port # may
vary)
