We had a a clob column in DB. Now when we extract this clob and try to display it (plain text not html), it prints junk some characters on html screen. The character when directly streamed to a file looks like (not the usual double quote on regular keyboard)

One more observation:

System.out.println("”".getBytes()[0]);

prints -108.

Why a character byte should be in negative range ? Is there any way to display it correctly on a html screen ?
