ibatis database name with special characters

I have to generate an html report regarding a few databases.

I am using ibatis on the server side. One of the tables has a 'degree' sign as a part of its name. The issue is, when I print this name in html file, the degree signs converts to ? , which is not what I want.

Is there a way , that I can get the database name with special characters and show it in the same way.

Thanks

  • This looks like it might be an encoding issue between the database and your code. Make sure, that you use the same setting as the database.

    Most databases use UTF-8 as encoding, nowadays. But HTML is, by default, ISO8859 and Tomcat assumes all HTML to be the same.

    I guess you cannot simply rename that table and be done with it, right?
