title: JSF 2 Copyright symbol
body: <p>I have following outputText:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;h:outputText escape="false" value="#{bean.copyrightText}"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This <strong>copyrightText</strong> is loaded from properties file (<strong>bean</strong> is Spring Bean):</p>
  
  <pre><code>server.copyrightText=&amp;copy; &amp;#169; 2016 some text goes here
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately copyright symbol is not redered correctly. Instead following string is rendered (IE, Chrome, Firefox):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&amp;copy; &amp;#169; 2016 some text goes here
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I add this symbol directly in Java then copyright symbol is rendered correctly:</p>
  
  <pre><code>res.append("\u00a9 ");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What can be the rootcause of this problem?</p>
