If the inputText component has an initial value, it will be encoded
server-side using the view's output encoding. When you submit the form,
the browser will encode the current value of the inputText using
whatever encoding it chooses to submit with -- usually the same as the
encoding of the page containing the form.

So it looks like you're sending the browser a page that's encoded as
ISO-8859-something, not UTF-8. That wont work for Asian characters, of
course.

That's in your 'meta' tag in the HTML 'head'? What do you have in your
JSP to specify the page encoding, other than the meta tag? Are you using
a page directive? The meta tag is not enough by itself to tell the JSP
engine to use UTF-8 encoding.
The JSP engine needs to know the correct output encoding to use. If it's
using one encoding (ISO-8859-?), but your meta tag specifies the page
uses a different encoding (UTF-8), things are going to get messed up;
the data is sent in IS0-8859-? but the browser is trying to decode it
using UTF-8.

In my configuration I have only English. The locale config is for resource
bundle. But the problem I have is the East Asia input and display, not locale
support.
I can type East Aisa characters such as Chinese into the <inputText> without
problems, but when they display back after submit, the characters becomes something
like:
&3435;&3489;&3988;&8987;
They seemed to be encoded somehow.
Does the browser(IE) or <inputText> do the encoding of characters? Thanks.

One thing I noticed.
I set the browser(IE) encoding to Unicode before typing the East Asia
characters, after submit, the browser encoding changed to Western
Europe(ISO). From browser view/source,
> CONTENT="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
it says UTF-8.
Note: submit did not store data in database, everything is in memory.
Browser does character conversion ? or JSF does some conversion?
Confused !! What needs to be done for JSF web application to support
characters other than English?
Thanks in advance for advice.
