Set the character encoding throughout your entire web application to one and same character encoding which supports all the characters you’d like to support. These days it’s strongly recommended to choose the UTF-8 character encoding for that.
Seeing the
?instead of the MS Word "smart quote"’indicates that either the HTTP response encoding or that DB table encoding doesn’t support the character in question. The first step would be to tell JSP to use UTF-8 to encode the characters which are written to the HTTP response.If that doesn’t fix the problem, then the second step would be to check if the DB table and/or the JDBC driver is configured to use UTF-8 to store and/or transfer the data. How to do that depends on the DB make/version used which you didn’t tell anything about in your question. So all we can suggest is to just consult its documentation for details.
