when building under 4.0+ release, the default ant build script doesn't take into account encoding explicitly set on individual java source files.
There is no general support yet for file encoding. Use \uXXXX escapes in the meantime, or use only the encoding set on your machine as the platform default encoding. (On modern versions of Linux this is easy because it should be UTF-8 and that can encode anything, but other OSs may not make it so simple.) *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 19928 ***
