Thanks Viravan,
But, I have added this line in my jsp before html tag.
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
After html tag,i added this meta tag.
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
So, the UTF-8 encoding is capable to show different language characters in firebox browser.
But In Internet Explorer 6 other language characters not displaying..
> jsp sends out the UTF-8 BOM (hex: EF BB BF) before
> the HTML tag.
I cant understand this line.I m new one to java.
So ,please help me out.
Thanks

IE seems to ignore the utf-8 meta tag, it behaves correctly when it receive an actual utf-8 page. An actual utf-8 page has a three-bytes marker at the beginning of the file. See if you can send IE a page that begins with 0xEE 0xBB 0xBF.
The following is a small sample page in Chinese:
<HTML>
萧应勇
</HTML>
Copy and paste it into Microsoft WordPad, save it specifically as a UTF-8 text file name test.htm and see if it's displayed correctly in IE.If you edit the test.htm file, you'll see the UTF-8 BOM signature at the beginning of the file.

perhaps not, but try these link and see for yourself
this link works:

this link requires you to manually change the encoding:
http://vvanic.home.insightbb.com/test2-utf8.htm
in this case, my free webspace's server simply refuses to serve utf-8 pages and BOM hack works just fine.
