Please help: Writing Chinese from Java 1.1 Applet to Server.

My applet has a chinese string such that:

String text = "\u5B57";

I am trying to get the Applet to post the Chinese String. By the time the String reaches the server it is already "?" - so I gather the encoding problem is occuring on the client (the applet). How do I ensure that this works ok?

My Source code:

DataOutputStream output = new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream() );

// simulate a POST from a web form

String query = "id=" + ID;

query += "&";

query += "outtext=" + URLEncoder.encode(text);

// write out the data

int queryLength = query.length();

output.writeBytes( query );

output.close();

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Carlos
