Thanks, Robert. That's exactly what my problem was. Things work find after I make sure that all my processing (index and query) are using UTF-8. FYI, it took me a while to discover that SolrJ by default uses a GET request for query, which uses ISO-8859-1. I had to explicitly use a POST to do query in SolrJ in order to get it to use UTF-8.
