I've noticed the following Locale issue in MyFaces (1.0.8) not seen in Sun's RI (1.1_01):
Unicode character escape sequences (e.g. \u9078\u629e) for Japanese characters (contained in a properties file) render as question marks when escape="false" in an outputText component. When escape="true" they render correctly as encoding-independent character references. I would like to include html as part of properties values, so escape needs to be false to render the html correctly. In Sun's RI when escape="false", the sequences are rendered using a Japanese encoding (I think based on charset/encoding declared in page header, or Shift-JIS for Japanese by default) rather than question marks. Any suggestions for rendering properties file values containing Japanese and html (or other non-escapeable text)? Thanks, Bryan
