Ho to avoid HTML entity conversion

[junkie]

I'm using Seam and Facelets for a multilingual website. The site's charset is Unicode. I would like to get rid of the automatic conversion of non-ASCII chars to HTML entities (see samples below). What would I have to do?

Th? nghi?m Ti?ng Vi?t
becomes
Thử nghiệm Tiếng Việt

???????
becomes
牆上掛著一幅畫

?????????????
becomes
интонационные

Thanks

I thought this forum was Unicode too... I need to clarify what above means:
the question marks above are non-ASCII chars, the ampersands are not escaped on my site.

To make that clearer: I have no issues with the charset, everything is displayed well on my site. I just don't want the conversion to HTML entities for non ASCII-chars.

I have searched the web for almost five hours now. This starts to drive me mad. Please, someone must have solved this problem before... ?

I just don't want HTML entities in the pages but the Unicode chars themselves.

not sure, but are you looking for attribute escape="false",
the default is true.

@arussel: Yes, that was it!!!! I have just learned another field of application for the outputText control...

You made my day!
