Properties files should be encoded in ISO8859-1.  Any characters not
representible in that encoding should be encoded with a Unicode escape
sequence (e.g. \u10FB).  There is a tool provided with the JDK, called
native2ascii, to assist with that conversion.

For more info, see the Java documentation on properties.  For instance.:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html
