Sorry I disagree - sticking to ASCII will keep the computer world in a broken world. Unicode is 20+ years and we still discuss whether valid unicode handling can be worked around by using ascii? In this case it is even worse - one of the mortal sins of XML processsing happend: Instead of using an xml processor, plain text processing was used, ignoring encodings and such. Assuming all input files are UTF-8 (ascii is by construction UTF-8, UTF-8 is the dafult encoding for XML), you could see if the ant concat task with platform encoding breaks this: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/4fd403dc36af972e7d75ec4e96b1f59a37a4e155/nbbuild/javadoctools/build.xml#L128-L139 `concat` has the parameters `encoding` and `outputencoding`. I would set both to `UTF-8`, this should match the default behavior on linux. That will still be broken, but slightly less (assuming it even helps). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
