Hi All, Actually, you should see the chineese translation and have ideas, the characters are written in utf-8 charcter set defined in java like this \u0667214 for every character. The only editor that can directly typed characters to this is the bundled property editor eclipse plugin or the yudit editor when configured correclty.

Hi Bashir! Forget about Windows-1256. This is not what you want. What browser are you using? Internet Explorer or Mozilla? Would you bring trying the other one, as one step? Here's what I'd check: - Is the page delivered to the browser as HTML or XHTML? (You can check using the "show page source" option in your browser.) - In case it's XHTML and in case the browser is Internet Explorer, it's not enough to have <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, but you should either add an HTML meta tag like this: <head> ... <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" /> ... </head> or make sure the corresponding HTTP header is sent. I am not that familiar with OFBiz internals to tell you how to ake this happen, but I am sure other people on the list would be able to help. But in order to find out if this would solve your problem or now, just do this: Save the page to the harddisk. Add that <meta ...> tag manuelly to the <head> section of your HTML. Reload the saved page from your harddisk into the browser. I found IE wanted that extra info while Mozilla doesn't.
