I have a form containing text areas. When I copy a bunch of character data such as: 2öÂnJ1ÈÏúÄp8éÎdìåmðh4uæEÍÉieÔWán2ÅìbØÉÅÀ1JÎZÏôsC5LòÚAPúÜaÃÙPC5üÆCJWCOzùÙtÒQqùét
into the text are, it displays normally. When I save the data, the database stores the characters properly, when the data returns to the s:textarea I displays with ?? replacing some characters. I can't figure out where this is happening. When I write the data out to the page as text it all displays properly. When I initially paste it into the textarea it displays correctly, so my browser supports the character set (ISO-8859-1 or Latin-1). It's only when it comes from the database to the textarea that the characters do not display. And I verified that the database can handle the characters and that they are stored correctly. This causes a problem when the user saves the second time, the ? get saved in the db as ?. Any ideas as to what is happening or how to fix it?
