You should make sure your requestEncoding and responseEncoding in the globalization tag is set to UTF-8. This will ensure that pages get generated with UTF-8 encoding and input is accepted and passed back in UTF-8 (which is basically Unicode encoded into an ASCII character set).

This will work if you retrieve browser input, but there may be issues with encoding if clients send data directly to your via HTTP and are not properly encoding their content as UTF-8.
