I don't think this is a dom4j issue, the problem is more likely to be caused by Maven's handling of none US-ASCII characters.
I think you notice similar behavior using dom4j because you probably use System.out to display your result and System.out (in this case) does not seem to be able to handle non US-ASCII characters correctly, showing a '?' instead of the character. The best way to test unicode problems is by writing a file to disk and reading this file in a unicode enabled editor (or browser).
