xml-dev - A stupid Question

[sudhi <sudhi@planet.net>]

Hello All,
This might be a stupid question, or may be off topic. But its in my
head, with out any answers. 
In info, comments are really appreciated.

I have a database which is Unicode enabled (say oracle). I can store
unicode data and retrieve unicode data. 

Now comes  Application, I know Java uses Unicode. So it can handle
unicode text.

This is where I am stuck, How do I give Unicode to my application. Does
all these browsers send characters as unicode. If I have a form how do I
enter unicode character (say for example chinese, russian etc.). 

I am really confused like how this thing work (from the user entered
information to the database). 
Any help or a pointer to the information where I can understand this
would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Sudhi
