Character Encodings

Hi,
I have the following Problem:
when I insert some german umlauts or the euro-sign in a form like this:

üöäÜÖÄßEUR

this is what the servlet gives me:

Ã¼Ã¶Ã¤Ã?Ã?Ã?Ã?â?¬

the other way (out.println("üöäÜÖÄßEUR)) works fine since I changed page
directive to 

<%@page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>

I have also a similar problem with my postgresql database.
But fixed it with setting 

charset=ISO_8859_1 

in the URL

I think anything is working in ASCII so maybe its the easiest way to say
tomcat/the VM to use ASCII instead of UNICODE

please give me a hint!

Sven
