French Character In ReportMill (Slightly Off Topic)

Hello Folks,

I know that this is kind of off topic.  However I am not sure if  
there is a mailing list where this would be appropriate to post.  I  
have a WebObjects applications that is trying to send send a string  
with French characters into a dataset to create a report.

For examples I have a NSArray of Strings some of which contain French  
characters:

NSArray provinceNames = new NSArray(new Object[] {"...", "...",  
"Quebec/Québec"});

I then obtain the string from the NSArray like so:

String provinceName = (String)provinceNames.objectAtIndex(i);

I also then have:

NSMutableDictionary dataset = new NSMutableDictionary();

dataset.setObjectForKey(provinceName, "province");

Where my key in ReportMill is:

@province@

I suspect that the display problem has something to do with the fact  
that Java Strings are usually unicode and that the ReportMill  
template is UTF-8.  The problem is I am not sure how to put the  
string in the dataset in a different encoding.  I know it is possible  
to change the encoding a Java String using streams and such but that  
seems to be an overly complicated for what I am doing.  Does anyone  
have any ideas?

Thanks and sorry for being a bit off topic.

Regards,
Jeff
