RequestUtils.filter and Euro currency symbol

[Kristopher Brown <Kr...@diagonal-solutions.co.uk>]

Hi,
 
I have been trying to ouput a Euro currency symbol in an html:text tag, but the value attribute just contained the ? character.  I followed the code through to the RequestUtils.filter method where I noticed that only <, >, ", and & are encoded.  I modified the code so that it also checks for \u20ac and replaces it with &#8364; which then worked.
 
Is it a bug that the RequestUtils.filter method does not suitably encode high end unicode characters?  Could/should the code be modified to encode any character above a given threshold?
 
Has anyone else had any problems like this and what was the outcome?
 
Cheers,
 
Kris.

Isn't the problem more likely to lie with the browser and the source 
code viewer you are using?
