Chinese select from DB problem

[koey]

I now discovered that when i query in mysql, the chinese words can display properly

but when I write a java program to get the information inside DB, the chinese words becomes ???? or strange characters.

How can I solve this problem.

I tried many days and finally can narrow down the problem to this. the DB result getting by java is not as expected.

I doubt if the problem with '???' is when you are displaying it. ok. Anyhow when you want to read the data from the DB, dont start it in string, but make a formated string like UTF-8 or keep it in raw bytes then when you read it in j2me use the method I posted to display chinese charecters in j2me
