have a separator.xml(in UTF8) file which contains a field space with value “ ”, which represents a non breaking space. In my java code, I concatenate this space with some text ,lets say to name.append(the value of the attribute goes in here).append(“some more data”…and send it to the client. The problem is that, in the first jsp it displays correctly as MyName space some more data. When I pass the text as a parameter, the special characters start to act weird, it passes it as “Benefit+Sample%C2%A0+258%C2%A0-%C2%A0James+Smith”

Any suggestions?

There's actually quite a good article on character sets by Joel on Software. Have a look at this.
