I'm guessing you mean they show up in the browser as question marks.



Is this consistent across browsers?

I am having problems with global parameters which have UTF-8 characters

output (e.g. <xsl:value-of select="$global-parameter"/>).

I am using JAXP (with Xalan 2.6 as the underlying XSLT engine) from a
JSP page to generate HTML.

My JSP page has the following setting for UTF-8:



<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>



My XSLT stylesheet has the following XML declaration:



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



And the stylesheet also has the following output element:



<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>



I am using the following Java code to set the global parameters:



transformer.setParameter(key, resourceBundle.getString(key));



So I think I am setting everything up properly for UTF-8.  Is there
anything I am doing wrong that is causing these characters to be shown
as question marks?

Thanks in advance for any help.
