jsp java How to show accented characters correctly

I have a spring + hibernate java project that is saving a value data into DB like this: 'Inglés' where é stands for é.

But when the jsp shows it: <c:out value="${area.descripcion}"/>

the page is shown like this: 'Ingl&eacute;s'.

How Can I make to show the word correctly like this: Inglés ?

the web.xml has configured the encoding:

<filter>
    <filter-name>characterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>encoding</param-name>
        <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>

The c:out tag has an escapeXML attribute I had to use to evaluate HTML tags:

<c:out value="${area.descripcion}" escapeXml="false"/>

With that attribute set to false problem solved!!.
