I thought about foreign people (from other countries or which may use for
example IE, Netscape etc. with other default language settings - russian,
greek etc.- or keyboard character mappings...). AFAIK, there are also
different Unicode pages available and If people type something into text
fields of our customers online shop and the characters from their mappings
aren't recognized by our Java serverside input validation classes, they
would never pass the server side validation and so they can't place any
orders or even login into the shop system.

I must be sure that the above scenario can't happen! - Otherwise we have to
take other approaches.
