Unicode in JSP

[bandekap]

I wanted to take multiple language characters in my jsp file.
I am storing these characters in Oracle database.
In my JSP file, I am using following code.
<META content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type>

But In my oracle database for three japanese characters it is storing
data in this form.
さだわ

Does this data in UNicode format?
Does my browser need special setting for unicode? I am using IE6.0.
Instead of above content type, if i use
<META content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv=Content-Type>
it some times shows different data in the browser, Since i am storing
and getting these data from oracle database.

Can any body help me out?
