JSP not showing ® or trademark symbol

the jsp is not showing the ® symbol and the i am having the below encoding 

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

and the code is 

<td>
    <c:out value="${value}"></c:out>
</td>

the ${value} is fetching from the DB and it contains 5 AP&reg;. when i hard code like &reg; then the symbol ® is coming if the same is passed from DB its not printing. also i tried unicodes(\u2122)

but no luck, please suggest with some example. Thanks!

Solution

  • finally i found the answer,i had added this property in tag escapeXml="false" its showing now the symbols

    <c:out value="${value}" escapeXml="false" />
