Paul Benedict commented on STR-3007:
------------------------------------

While it's possible to automatically escape characters, it's probably unwise 
because it balloons the response size. This would be terrible for I18N sites. 
Instead, you need to set your content type to UTF-8 which will solve the 
problem.

> in "xxx" I have a string containing € euro symbol.
> If I use <html:text property="xxx"> to write the value of xxx in a text form 
> field I get '?' instead of € euro symbol.
> According to my opinion it's up to 
> org.apache.struts.util.ResponseUtils.filter()  to solve this problem adding 
> this lines of code to the list of cases:
>         case'\u0080':
>           filtered = "&euro;";
>           break;
>         case'\u20AC':
>           filtered = "&euro;";
>           break;
> What do you think about?
