Euro Currency getting Question mark?

Question

I am using a Servlet and JSP to display a webpage. But whenever I use the Euro currency I get a question mark(?). When I print out in the lgs its fine but when it renders in the HTML it doesn't... Anyone know how to fix?

 Currency c  = Currency.getInstance("EUR");
 System.out.println(c.getSymbol());
 String minListPrice =c.getSymbol()+(int)sorteList.get(i).getTicketInfo().getMinListPrice();

You should use UTF-8 encoding to avoid this problem.

Check this answer to know how to do it.

On JSP:

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

Server side:

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws ServletException
{
   request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
   chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
