Hi Al,
this looks like an encoding problem. There are two things you can verify:
- Is character encoding correctly configured for your Tomcat? You can also
verify this by submitting an item with arabian metadata, and see whether
those characters are rendered correctly.
Information on encoding settings for tomcat:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-ServletEngine(ApacheTomcat7orlater,Jetty,CauchoResinorequivalent)
- it could be that your messages file is not in a character encoding that
Tomcat/DSpace understands. Can you confirm that your messages file is UTF-8
encoded?
best regards,
Bram
