Minor Description
Characters that are represented as a 2 characters internaly by java are incorrectly converted by the function. The following test displays the problem quite nicely:
import org.apache.commons.lang.*;
public class J2 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// this is the utf8 representation of the character:
// COUNTING ROD UNIT DIGIT THREE
// in unicode
// codepoint: U+1D362
byte[] data = new byte[]
;
//output is: ��
// should be: 𝍢
System.out.println("'" + StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(new String(data, "UTF8")) + "'");
}
}
Should be very quick to fix, feel free to drop me an email if you want a patch.
