How can I get cyrillic text in html-code on GAE?

I tried 

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251" />

and 

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

in the head tag, but it didn’t seem to work. I get the cyrillic signs on “monkey language” e.g.

фдф
fггфгфгдÑв

My HTML-code is as follows

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
  <head>

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

    <link href="./css/common.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <title>Заглавие</title>
  </head>

  <body>  
   Здравей!
  </body>
</html>

Any suggestions?

    I have figured it out!

    The problem was that the document is JSP and not HTML file.

    If someone wants cyrillic in jsp files one should add

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

    at the beginning of the file.
