Everytime I fetch data (mostly strings ) from mysql database, several characters were replaced by "??". Is there a way I can preserve the original value? Thanks for the help.

Which characters are those, and how do you know they went bad - are you printing them to a console? If so, be aware that many console can't handle anything but ASCII.
Characters like ’ and é. I displayed it in eclipse console. By the way, I changed the Encoding to UTF-8 in Preferences-General-Editor. Also in debug mode, when i view the values in the Variables tab, the characters were also replaced by ??. Thanks for the response.

I don't know whether the Eclipse console (or Variables tab) can handle Unicode; you might want to verify that by in other way.
And just to ask the obvious: the DB encoding is set to something that can handle those characters, and they are still OK in the DB?
