xsp to generate html page with different encoding?

["Tsui, Alban" <Al...@COGNOS.com>]

hi 

I want to have a xsp to render a html page containing a form. The character
encoding of the page (presumably this will affect the form as well) is
determined by a external parameter, e.g. a request param saying something
like "en", use english character set or something...

How would I do that? I have some Strings coming back from my database and
the database strings are already in UTF-8. So would that page automatically
convert that into the encoding that I want when I do
<expr>myStringValue</expr> in the final output page?

Any help would be appreciated.
