The problem may be that you haven't configured your database to contain characters other than Western European characters. Or it may be something else. You haven't exactly provided us with all the relevant information. (Not that it would be easy to do that...)

You should read this article:

Yes. If this actually relates to your problem is not yet clear.

If UTF-8 supports Farsi completely then Java does too. If it doesn't then Java doesn't.

I would presume that SQL Server can be configured to support UTF-8 in which case the same holds there. But whether you have configured it to do so is a different question which you will need to address yourself.

Java supports Farsi just fine. Of course MS-SQL and MySQL aren't written in Java. And you're sending data over the Internet, which also isn't written in Java. So you're going to have to do some testing to find out where your problem is.

Hint: A web application is a really clumsy tool if you want to test database access. Don't use that, just write a simple Java application to test out your database connection.

Likewise getting data from a database is too complicated if you want to test a web application. Just hard-code some data into the web app to test it.
