URLEncode international characters

Hello Everyone,

I have an simple servlet which gets the form fields and stores in a sql
server db. Now I am trying to store and retrive international characters
(charset EUC-JP).

The problem I am having here is:
For the first time when I send the characters, java gets it as ascii, It
returns back to the browser (IE 5.5) some junk, now here is the interesting
thing, I append the same characters to the junk and submit it. Now the later
text appears fine in the browser.

Question:
I am thinking that first time the browser encodes the text in ascii, then
later it encodes it properly. Is there anyway that I can solve this? Any
help is greatly appreciated.
