character encoding +missing character sequence

[raavi]

Hi
i am involved in a telnet application.the user enters input
through the jsp and the output is displayed on a jsp.the problem i am
facing is that the classes i am using works fine when input is given
through keyboard.if it is given through jsp,then there are missing
character sequences and this usually occurs at the start of the
page.why is this so? if anyone has any idea please do reply me.
Thanks in advance

Since you say that the missing character sequences occur at the start of
the page, I infer that the characters are ok in the middle or end of the
page. In that case, I doubt you have a character encoding problem.

However, if you do have an encoding problem, the following article might
help you. It describes various points of character set encoding troubles
in a typical web application using JSP/Servlets:
