Why is “something” unreadable displayed instead of Russian text when accepting a text form with JSP?

Question

Java

On the JSP page, the user enters his data, which is subsequently rewritten in the database, but as soon as I start reading any Russian text, it does not matter the user himself writes or selects one result from the list - something is not legible, as if the encoding was violated. I work on Java 6 through Intellij idea and Tomcat 7. Tell me what it could be and how to fix it? Changing the encoding in IDEA did nothing,

Answer 1

Try setting HttpServletRequest setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); before extracting data from it.

Answer 2

Set the encoding on the jsp page itself
