I have a servlet that receives some POST data. Because this data is x-www-form-urlencoded, a string such as ???? would be encoded to サボテン.
How would I unencode this string back to the correct characters? I have tried using URLDecoder.decode("encoded string", "UTF-8");
but it doesn't make a difference.
The reason I would like to unencode them, is because, before I display this data on a webpage, I escape & to & and at the moment, it is escaping the &s in the encoded string so the characters are not showing up properly.
