Try looking at the HTML source for the page, does the source have the correct characters in it or does the tooltip (title attribute) have the corrupted version you are seeing?

If the source code looks OK then it sounds like a browser bug to me.

yes, the two codes match, but i'm not sure that title elements can contain such characters. In other words, i think that using é is a better standard that using #233.

Note it does not work under firefox and IE.

When checking the rfcs, it seems that you're right, it should work. But it i've seen such a behaviour since a long time, that title does not displays exactly the same way than the html page.

So i don't really know what to do.
You can use symbolical accents (eacute), or use the numerical accents (#233), but just be aware that the second solution does not display correctly on the two most used browsers .

If the properties file contains custom_view=Vue PersonnalisÃ©e and the Ã© ends up in the HTML as #233 I can only imagine it's the Java encoding process that is transforming the character to the numeric code.

Have you tried replacing the character in the properties file with é and seeing if that works?

Well, it doesn't work better
Java transform it into "Vue Personnalis&eacute;e", so it is displayed like that in the tooltip and "Vue Personnalisée" in the HTML.

OK. I think the best thing is to raise this as an issue in JIRA and we'll investigate and you can then track the progress too.
