I want to display Turkish characters stored in a PostgreSQL database in my JSP page I have included: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
.
I still can't see the actual Turkish characterset on screen. In the database, the string is stored as %C4%9F%C4%B1%C4%B0%C3%B6%C5%9F%C3%BC%C4%9F%C4%B0
When I fetch it from PostgreSQL using resultsetwrapperobject.getstring("columnname");
, it will automatically convert it into a string like this: \304\237\304\261\304\260\303\266\305\237\303\274\304\
I want to know why this automatic conversion happen and how to stop this conversion.
