It seems to me that the string a browser sent to the server is not a
UTF-8 string. What's the encoding of the HTML page that sends the
text. The page's encoding must be UTF-8, if you expect to get the
string in UTF-8 (at least for Internet Explorer and Netscape).

If the HTML page is generated by a JSP, does the JSP has contentType
attribute in page directive as this?

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
