Accessing Japanese characters from text area

[princy.mat]

Greetings to all,

I am having a JSP page with a textarea in it. I access the value entered in the text area using a servlet.

But when I type Japanese characters in the text area, I am getting the value as '?' in the servlet

I even tried Request.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-2022-JP"); in the servlet before accessing the value from the text area. But still I am getting '?'.

Any help appreciated..

Thanks
