GWT: Character encoding umlauts

Question

I want to set a text in a label:

labelDemnaechst.setText(\" Demnächst fällig:\");

On the output in the application the characters \"ä\" are

Answer 1

well you have to encode your special charactars to Unicode. You can finde a list of the representive Unicode characters here.

Your examle would look like this:

    labelDemnaechst.setText("Demn\u00E4lachst f\u00E4llig:");

Hope this helps, if noone has a better solution.

Appendix:

Thanks Thomas for your tipp, you really have to change the format in which eclipse safes it's source files. Per default it uses something like Cp1252. If you change it to UTF-8, your example works correct. (So Demnächst is written correctly).

You can edit the safing format, if you right-click on your file --> Preferences.
