Having problem with special characters

Hello, Please help
I have to tomcat servers.
Same version of OS fedora 4 and apache-tomcat-5.5.15

this is driving me crazy

i am in a form, it calls a servlet and the servlet writes a file

the character i am trying to write is £

on one machine it writes a £ but on the other machine it writes a Â£

the form posts directly to the servlet

any ideas.

not sure even where to start

Thanks
Randy

Hi

I think there were a few posts earlier regarding consistent UTF-8 encoding
in tomcat.
If I remember correctly, this was resolved by setting some flags in a few
files. I know I'm being awfully vague :( but I know its there.

Cheers,
