Hi, I was facing the same problem in displaying the copyright and trademark symbols. Did you find some solution for this? I shall be greatfeul if you can share you experience with me.
What I did was I created a utility class which transforms special characters into their HTML encodings and also decodes the same. But Struts transforms them again e.g if I encode ˱ for one symbol Struts will encode the '&' to & and hence my effort to encode will not work because my symbol would become &#753. Now either I want to know if I can turn the ResponseUtils.filter OFF or I can have it filter for my characters too (it currently only filters 4 characters). BTW I cam not talking about URL encoding here. I am talking about HTML encoding for my forms and otherwise.

I don't know if you got me completely right.. or maybe I didn't understand. What I want to do is to transform the regional characters of a String like "ü" into "ü" The reason is, that I don't want to use utf-8, but ISO-8859-1 for my html pages. And if a "ü" appears in the ISO-8859-1 characterset in the browser, it is not displayed correctly in a browser using the english locale. But it is displayed correctly if "ü" is used. (what is the name for this format?) As far as I could learn, java.net.URLEncoder transforms into "application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format", used for the URLs. But this format is not for the body of a html page, right? Regards, Bernhard -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Craig R. McClanahan Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.
