Where are you copying the strings? If you are copying them to a resource XML file (as you should), the encoding is UTF-8 so it should work automatically. If you are copying those in your source files as Java strings, you need to change the encoding of your source files to UTF-8 (the default is the platform default encoding): right click your project, select 'Resource' on the left and change 'Text file encoding' to UTF-8. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
