UTF-8 and Encoding Problems

["Kist, Paul" <pa...@merck.com>]

Here's one I haven't seen before:

I have an HTML form with the following input tag:

<input onclick="updateFields(this);" name="select" value="Patient&rsquo;s
Page" type="radio">

The &rsquo; is supposed to translate to this form of the single quote:  '

However this string is being stored in the database, as well as the object
bean, with jumbled up characters.  Somewhere in the submit, the integrity of
this character is being lost.

I made some debug statements in the flowscript that handles the submit and
this is the value of that radio button if it is selected:

"PatientΓ??s Page"

I tried also changing the &rsquo; to the actual character itself, and the
hex representation, but the same result happens.    Has anyone seen anything
like this and would know what is happening?
