    It's a character encoding issue. Your server is sending data in an encoding other than what your browser expects. – Andy Turner Apr 08 '16 at 15:34
  • What's the encoding of your website? – f1sh Apr 08 '16 at 15:34
  • if this is an encoding issue with the server then it should be with all the users right? and also the code to add this >> is hard coded in jsp. » – vbr Apr 08 '16 at 15:42

You should have this on top of your jsp files:

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

If you have that, the problem is with your client's browser which hasn't chosen the proper encoding.
