How to convert characters beyond ASCII range to HTML entities

Currently I'm running the replace like this:

    .replace("®", "&reg")
    .replace("°", "&deg")
    .replace("™", "™")
    .replace("©", "©")

But that relies on a lot to go right before I get to this point. What's a better way to do this?

You can use this utils class: http://commons.apache.org/lang/api-2.5/org/apache/commons/lang/StringEscapeUtils.html

In your particular case it will be StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(...)

http://commons.apache.org/lang/api-2.5/org/apache/commons/lang/StringEscapeUtils.html#escapeHtml(java.lang.String)

org.apache.commons.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml looks like it does what you want.
