Problems displaying french special characters

Hello,

we are developing a multi-lingual WebDynpro application. The languages are set correct and the translation for all parts (portal, xls-files) works fine. Except the correct displaying of WebDynproResourceBundle-files.

Example:

We use the french property file with the content:

Enl\u00c3\u00a8vement

When calling this value, it displays:

Enlèvement

instead of

Enlèvement

I already tried to set the jvm system parameter for encoding to latin1 and latin2. But this didn't help.

Does anybody know, what parameter I have to set to have this french special signs displayed the right way?

Thank you in advance.

Matthias
