<<How are you outputing this data?  Velocity, JSP and others "template
processors" allow you to specify the character set>>

   We're currently outputting the data from our own java application, which
will be turned into a servlet in a few weeks.  We skipped JSP and Velocity
because we had a very unique data schema with very unique needs (it would
have taken more time to do it the "easy" way in this case).  Thus, I'm not
sure I can find an environment variable.

   Thanks for the tip, though.

   BTW, all jibberish comes directly from the database, and displays as
such using System.out.println().
