You need to do something like this in the ./conf/tomcat server.xml file:
<Connector address="localhost" port="8000" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
See 'URIEncoding' in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html
Note that this will assume that the encoding of the data is in utf-8 if (and
ONLY if) the charset parameter is not set in the HTTP request content type
header, the header looks like this:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Also note that most browsers encode data in ISO-8859-1 unless overridden in the
browser settings or by the content type and charset set in the html in case you
are using a form. This you can do either by setting it in the http response
content type header (like above), or as a meta tag like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Hope this helps.
Cheers
