Usually you should suspect somewhere a wrong encoding used through the flow of your system.
Check the following points: - is your database storing content in UTF-8 (should you use one)? - are your Tapestry templates written in UTF-8 and specifying a proper content type (<*meta* http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/*html* ;charset=*utf-8*" />)? - your properties files encodings (you just did). Have a look at http://java.sun.com/developer/EJTechTips/2005/tt1220.html#2for more details. Regards, Jérôme.
