I know what's your problem: Your application server/servlet container is not configured to support unicode characters.

You will have to configure you application server/servlet container to support UTF Encoding. Tomcat Example has been answered in this SO question.

Another alternative is to write a Character Encoding Filter and configure it in your web application.

Try setting request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") before the first call to getParameter().

If that doesn't work, have a look at your Tomcat config.
