What it sounds like you'll have to do is figure out which character 
encoding was used to enter the original data, and write some Java to 
convert it to another encoding more useful to your WebObjects 
application.  This shouldn't be too hard; if Java doesn't already 
include a mapping, it should just be a simple matter of creating a 
static mapping table and running fetched strings through it.
