title: JavaFX ComboBox Special Characters
body: <p>If I create a Combobox, doesn't matter if I use FXML or Java code, the default value is displayed wrong:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/C1MqD.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/C1MqD.png" alt="Error Picture"></a></p>
  
  <p>I use for both (items and setValue()) the same letters: "Männlich"
  Even if I don't set a default value but let it take the first one it doesn't work.
  Why is the special char not recognized for the default value in the first place?</p>
  
  <p>After selecting manually the value again it is displayed correctly.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ComboBox genderField = new ComboBox();
  genderField.getItems().addAll("Männlich", "Weiblich");
  </code></pre>
