Description

The values in the resource bundle are UTF-8 encoded strings. In Windows the non-ascii characters (e.g. \u00AB which is <<) are malformed if UTF-8 isn't specified as page encoding. However this breaks forms submission with diacritics because Tomcat expects forms to be ISO-8859-1 http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding
