GWT Characters with accent not recognised when added programmatically

I am using the UIBinder in GWT but I have problems displaying letters with an accent.

My xml looks like this

<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">    
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder" 
xmlns:g="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui">

...

<g:Label ui:field="lbl"></Label>

If I type my text directly in the xml <g:Label>éç</g:Label> the accents come out fine. But if I use the setText method in the associated class lbl.setText("éç") they are replaced by a diamond with a question mark in it.

Edit: If if type them in html it displays the ampersand and stuff

SOLUTION:

In fact when I tested the app after changing the file format to UTF-8 I hadn't went back through the code to retype all the accent which were broken during the change. So they still appeared the same in the browser.

After doing BalusC tasks check your File Save Option go to >> 'File\AdvancedSaveOptions...' and check if your page saved as Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) codepage 650001.

Your issue may be because of using Windows Codepage 1252

just note that you have to retype your Unicode String

You need to set the response encoding and client encoding to UTF-8 as well.

Add this to top of your page to instruct the XML parser to use UTF-8:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Add this to the HTML <head> to instruct the client to use UTF-8:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
