localization question

[Saddest OfAllKeys <ke...@yahoo.com>]

Short version: Should I be able to see Chinese
characters in JetspeedLocalization.properties?
Alternatively, what is a proven strategy for using
pure Unicode with Jetspeed 1.4 b4?

Long version:

Background: 

I'm using jetspeed-1.4-b4 with Chinese characters.

I have done the following: 

(a) removed all JetspeedLocalization*.properties from
jetspeed-1.4-b4.jar and have removed all of
~/classes/org/apache/jetspeed/modules/localization/JetspeedLocalization_*.properties

(b) commented out locale info in Fulcrum.properties

(c) edited TurbineResources.properties like so:

locale.default.bundle=
locale.default.bundles=org.apache.jetspeed.modules.localization.JetspeedLocalization
locale.default.language=
locale.default.country=

(I have also used "en","US" as language, country)

(d) I have added a Chinese character to the HOME label
in  JetspeedLocalization.properties (e.g. \u3230)

(e) I have removed all language preferences from the
browser (IE 5.5) and have "encoding" set to UTF8

(f) A grep for "UTF" in WEB-INF/conf produces:

Fulcrum.properties:#services.VelocityService.input.encoding=UTF-8
JetspeedResources.properties:content.defaultencoding=UTF-8
TurbineResources.properties:services.VelocityService.input.encoding=UTF-8

Problem: I can't see the Chinese character.  I realize
it may be a font issue but I have loaded _some_ of the
Chinese fonts.  I've debugged with Eclipse and can't
tell if the string is being read in properly.

I realize the ideal way is to use
JetspeedLocalization_zh.properties and set that as the
language in IE, but I'm trying to find the simplest
thing that can possibly work.  

Any ideas greatly appreciated!!

Mike

It looks as though the issue was a font issue: I was
able to verify that the character was indeed being
read in as the appropriate Unicode character. I tried
another character and it worked well.

I found this editor to be very useful (I have no
affiliation):

However, I'm still curious about the "best practice"
for l10n.  My apologies if this is a RFTM.

thanks,
Mike

ps. Kudos to everyone on b4. Many of us are quite
looking forward to Jetspeed 2! Exciting stuff.
