Thanks for letting me know. I'm fairly sure it's the database connection 
causing problems but it's not clear how to fix it. I'll experiment with 
different encoding settings over the next couple of days and see if any 
of them fix it.

Ruby and C apps apparently work correctly when using default connection 
encoding settings, but java doesn't. I'm guessing Ruby and C both share 
a common library but the jdbc driver is pure java and might operate 
differently. I'm concerned this may not be fixable with the current 
database configuration. Anyway, I'll see what I can do.
