Encoding in jsp

Question

I am Using
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" > for encoding charset. It accepts [insert and retrieval] all german and french characters except � (alt+0128) ..
And also i tried
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> in JSP. It only helps to retrieve the � data. When i saved that euro sign,it stored as a junky character
Any ideas please help me

Thanks for your reply.
I achieved this issue through the steps given below
1) In JSP
<%@ page pageEncoding="utf-8" %> <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8" %>
<meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
2) In web.xml,
<!DOCTYPE web-app
a) PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
b) <filter>
<filter-name>SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>mypackage.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Note: filter tag must be top of the servlet tag
