Description Marian Petras 2006-12-10 11:10:36 UTC 
When the user enters non-Latin1 text into the properties source editor and than
saves the file, all non-Latin1 characters are saved as '?' (question mark
character). The user should be warned and offered translation of the file so
that these characters are written in form of \uxxxx sequences.

Accepted.
Comment 3 Marian Petras 2007-04-26 14:44:41 UTC 
Now that issue #32392 ("Edit Text Rather than Escape Sequences") has been fixed,
characters not encodable using the ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) encoding are saved in
form of \uxxxx sequences and decoded when the file is loaded to the editor -
there is no loss of information.
