How do I determine the character encoding for a JTextField? I am reading 
this value to post to a database. Some symbols are not coming out 
correctly such as �.

Java strings are in Unicode. I think your database is not setup to store 
Unicode characters.

Actually, there can been a lot more to it than that.  But it varies 
(this is special) according to which RDBMS you are using.  With that 
information I could give a more helpful response.

(BTW, for those ESL people out there who may be reading this, the 
comment "this is special" is meant to be sarcastic.)
