Switch your text encoding to UTF-8.

In Eclipse go to Window -> Preferences, select General -> Workspace. From the Text file encoding dropdown, select UTF-8. enter image description here

Make sure the file is being saved as UTF-8. Go to File->Properties and check the Text file encoding property. – Jacob Ewald May 02 '11 at 16:23

You need UTF-8 encoding, not Cp1252, and Unicode.
