What server and driver version are you using? Are the characters in
question directly in the query string or set as a parameter via
PreparedStatement.setString()?
There is no equivalent Java encoding for LATIN10, according to a comment
in the driver (is this still true?). If you are using a pre-7.3 server,
the encoding from Java strings to the database encoding happens on the
driver side, so in this case the driver can't find a suitable encoding
to use and just uses the JVM's default encoding, which is probably wrong.
