I face the same situation. The problem is that MyFaces encodes all HTML and all messages from the ResourceBundle, so the _javascript_ alert shows those annoying &nnn; characters....

I do not know if there is a function but the \unnn notation works
definitely with alerts:

I am not sure but the #nnn notation might be unicode numbers so they might
be the same numbers as in the \unnn notation
