you are working through the web. That makes the whole thing a lot more
complex. Try to use UTF-8/UNICODE encoding all the way. That means
configure Apache(!!!) and Tomact to server pages in UTF-8 encoding.
All web pages pages should have

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Check in your browser if UTF-8 encoding is used. On the other operating
system in IE use View > Encoding, it should show UTF-8.

Actually the browser to server communication is the hardest to ensure
the right encoding is used.

We have a database with Japanese, Hebrew, German, Swedish, French,
Spanish and English content.
