In property file for other languages with special characters like France as shown below:

category_text = Cat\u00E9gorie

Open the property file in Netbeans, it's rendered as Catégorie. 

I'm not sure if there is some way I can resolve this, but I tried the following in order, but didn't work:
1. Changed encoding to ISO-8859-1.
2. Restart IDE
3. Rebuild the project

Hi Ariel,

I understand this is a correct behavior. NetBeans property editor
is displaying native characters from unicode ascii. At saving files,
it stores in unicode ascii properly.

How it save the HTML character to back unicode is correct. 

It somehow confuses me that if I input the property below, it renders and save it as it is:

category_text = Catégorie

Maybe that is how it should behave, but it's just an extra work to use other editor, find the file within the packages and make changes in case I've inputted an incorrect unicode, because I can't make the correction in Netbeans. 

Is there a way I can configure NetBeans property editor to keep the html unicode as it is, sort of to escape or unescape unicode?
