Works for me:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project name="test" default="foo">
<target name="foo">
<loadproperties srcFile="foo.properties" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<echo message="[${foo.property}]"/>
<echo file="test.txt" message="${foo.property}"/>
</target>
</project>
foo:
[echo] [Test ế]

This is on a Unix box, there is no BOM in foo.properties.
I just added the BOM to the file:
hitman@bigdog ~/t$ file foo.properties
foo.properties: UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text
hitman@bigdog ~/t$ ant foo
Buildfile: /Users/hitman/t/build.xml
foo:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
hitman@bigdog ~/t$ cat test.txt
Test ?
Same thing.
Any other ideas? Thanks for the help sofar.

Hi Rob,
Maybe you need to start the file with the Byte Order Mark?
This is apparently more likely if you are on Windows.

Subject: Question regarding UTF-8 and property files
So I'm having an issue with UTF-8 and property files. Given
the test build.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project name="test">
<target name="foo">
<loadproperties srcFile="foo.properties" encoding="utf-8"/>
<echo file="test.txt" encoding="utf-8" message="${foo.property}"/>
</target>
</project>
and the file foo.properties:
#foo.propert=Test ế
foo.property=Test \u1EBF
When I run ant (1.8.2) for this target and look in test.txt, I see:
Test ?
every time. It is not interpreting the utf-8 character
properly and therefore is not putting it into my project
properly. I've tried both the raw utf-8 character in the
file as well as the \uXXXX encoded version. Both are the same.
Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong with this?
thanks,
rob
