JSP charset

class XXX {
static public String test() {
return “யாமறிந்த”;
}
}
My JSP code did the following:
String str = XXX.test();
String str2 = “யாமறிந்த”;

உப்பு கடலோடு மேகம் உற்பத்தி ஆனாலும்
உப்பு தண்ணீரை மேகம் ஒரு போதும் சிந்தாது!
மலையில் விழுந்தாலும் சூரியன் மறித்து போவதில்லை,
நிலவுக்கு ஒளியூட்டி தன்னை நீட்டித்து கொள்கிறது!
மேகமாய் நானும் மாறேனோ அதன் மேன்மை குணங்கள் காண்பேனோ.
சூரியன் போல் அவை மாறேனோ என் ஜோதியில் உலகை ஆள்வேனோ.
ஜனனம் மரணம் தெரியா வண்ணம் நானும் மழை துளி ஆவேனோ!
