Henri Yandell commented on STR-3007:
------------------------------------

The following works somewhat for me:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<%
String test = "The currency in Europe is \u0080 or \u20AC and not \u20A0.";
%>
Hello. <%= test %> 

The prolbem is that \u0080 will work happily for me by default (it's the 
Microsoft codepage location, but I'm on a Mac so there must be some level of 
commonality) and if I set UTF-8 then the \u20AC will work.

So you need to be on UTF-8 AND you need to not use the \u0080 variant.

> 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

>         case'\u0080':
>           filtered = "&euro;";
>           break;
>         case'\u20AC':
>           filtered = "&euro;";
>           break;
> What do you think about?
