You're probably getting ISO-8859-1 encoded data, because your form's method is get, and your WAS (Tomcat probably?) is decoding URI as such (it is the default).

If you are using Tomcat, change the server.xml's Connector element for your HTTP port to include the attribute URIEncoding="UTF-8".

If your form is supposed to change the state of the server (such as registering a contact in the DB), you could just change the method to post, which defaults to the encoding of the requesting page (which is utf-8).
