Chinese Character cannot be decoded

Question

hi,
I would like to implement two JSP pages. The first JSP is just a html form, which is used to submit unicoded chinese data to a target JSP file.
The target JSP file received those data and display.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> is added in the first JSP file. As a result, data will be submitted in UTF-8 format.
In target JSP, I used the following code to recieve and decode data:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%
String para = request.getParameter("para"); // where para is name of received parameter
byte[] bytes = para.getBytes();
para = new String(bytes, "UTF-8");
out.println("Recieved character: " + para);
%>
My Problem:
After I submitted chinese characters from the first JSP file, only some of them can be displayed on target JSP. Some of those characters are missing.
For example, when I input "�@", target JSP can display the character. On the other hand, when I input "�p", nothing is displayed. But I know that variable "bytes" stored 3 bytes for each chinese character. I would like ask why
para = new String(bytes, "UTF-8");
cannot encode properly. Is anything wrong about my coding?
Thx
