Here's a quote from the JavaDoc for java.util.Properties that I think will
help explain things for you:
-----
When saving properties to a stream or loading them from a stream, the ISO
8859-1 character encoding is used. For characters that cannot be directly
represented in this encoding, Unicode escapes are used; however, only a
single 'u' character is allowed in an escape sequence. The native2ascii tool
can be used to convert property files to and from other character encodings.
