Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have been under the impression that
Java .properties files should always use encoding ISO-8859-1. Characters
not present in ISO-8859-1 can be written in \uxxxx. Won't it make things
confusing to developers if another encoding is used here instead?
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load-...
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#store...
If alternate encodings are desired how about supporting the XML format of
Properties?
Best regards,
Thomas

Both iso-8859-1 and utf-8 message bundles should be able to
co-exist.
We can allow specifying the encoding in a comment on the first line like
this:
# encoding=utf-8
key=value
# encoding=iso-8859-1
key=value
If the first line in the file doesn't contain the comment with the
encoding then we should default to iso-8859-1 for backwards compatibility
