Issue

One of the application user has reported that they are seeing � instartd of >> on their home and other pages. There are about 100 users and only one user has this issue. The user is using IE11. what may be the cause of this issue.

Solution

You should have this on top of your jsp files:

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

If you have that, the problem is with your client's browser which hasn't chosen the proper encoding.
