trapped in ASCII encoding

Guide me to the light please!

I have a Java based client that sends key-value information pairs
wrapped in HTTP Post to Rails server. Works fine except some beyond
ascii characters. You may know non-ascii characters will be delivered
in %xx hex format IF their codes are not greater than 255. It seems
beyond that value characters are converted to ? mark.

HTTP Gurus help me how to deliver non-latin encoded messages via
HTTP. If I set content encoding to UTF-8 Rails will receive it
uncoverted so I will get rubbish instead of correctly decoded UTF-8
strings.

Thanks in advance!
