Special characters in URL parameters retrieved as question marks

Question

Hello,
I am posting a simple HTML form to a WebDynpro application, and then I retrieve the 2 parameters with the following code :
IWDWebContextAdapter adapter = WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter();
String comment= adapter.getRequestParameter("comment");
Problem : some special characters (those with accents for instance) are retrieved as question marks. Their ascii character is always 65533 (unicode rather?).
I guess this is a problem of charset, but where could I change it ?
Trying to encode afterwards does not change the characters, I always get the question marks. But I may not do it the right way...
Any hint on that ?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Nicolas

Hi,
refer to following code.
Stop using deprecated object IWDWebContextAdapter
IWDProtocolAdapter adapter = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
     try {
          byte comment[]= adapter.getRequestObject().getParameter("comment").getBytes("ASCII");
          String str = new String(comment);
     } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
