Frequently users will build an application and embed international characters
into Java source files. When they run and view the application in a web
browser, sometimes the international characters do not appear correctly.
Usually this is because Java requires UTF-8 for source code files containing international characters, but the users' source files are not properly encoded in UTF-8. Frequently this is because the editor used to generate the files (such as an IDE) is not configured to save the files as UTF-8.
If you are encountering this issue, check that your editor of choice is capable of saving files as UTF-8, and that it is currently configured to do so.
