the ? occurs when java try to convert a character from on charset to another. either the character is not in target charset or the charset in choose is wrong.
> either the character is not in target charset or the charset in choose is wrong.
ie. it cannot be displayed by the font being used :)

it's already converted to ? in the server end, has nothing to do with the font!
as least it was the situation that I have experienced under exactly same environment. user copy and paste content from word document.

You have no way of knowing that, thats why I suggested checking what byte value was actually stored in the database to determine exactly where the problem was manifesting itself.
Try inserting just a bullet and see what goes in the db.

I asked what *byte* values are saved to the database, how the string displays is irrelevant.
And I also asked jvoros1 not you, so please stop being so argumentative.

Thanks I have it working :)
glad to know it's working :)
For the benefit of others reading this question in the furure please post what you changed to fix it.
You need to check the actual byte value being inserted in the database to check if the problem is there, or just that whatever is displaying it does is using a font where that value is undefined.
