Real problem posting &Euro symbol from jsp page, using TC 5.0

Dear TC profis, (allistair and Nikola)

I have had this problem for a week (aaahhh!), and would really appreciate
ANY help or pointers to what I may be doing wrong.

When I post a  value from a form from either Netscape 6.0 or IE 6.0, and do
a system.out.println in my test
servlet there is always something other than the Euro symbol arriving in my
test servlet.  Most often is a ? which indicates the browser-client
is posting using ISO8859-1

Please take a look at the simple jsp pages below, which is using UTF-8. ( in
another test I have also changed all the various
encoding parameters to ISO8859-15, but there is still no Euro symbol on the
server).!

PLEASE......................................... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ??

:-(

Ben
