Non printable characters in html

[ss123]

How do I encode non-printable characters:

I get the "“Equip. \nPort:”"string from the server and all I have to do when i render my page, I need to display the above string in two lines as a label of a text box.



System.out.println(a.indexOf(\n””)) returns -1 and hence a.replaceAll(“\n”,”<br/>”) is not happening.

I guess the reason is it is a non-printable character.
How do i make this happen.
Thanks

What language is that? If it's ASP the forum doesn't support ASP questions. ASP also uses really retarded newline characters, or it did last time I dealt with it, but happily that's been a while now.

Its JSP.

Wow, a JSP user, I guess there has to be a first time for everything. Sorry can't help, we don't use proprietary languages, only open source here.
