Hi Rahul. Your text is rendering correctly for me in both IE 6 and Firefox, so it may be your browser configurations. Can you verify whether your character encoding is set to Unicode (UTF-8) in both? Also, you should specify the encoding in the server response; right now, your server is returning Content-Type: text/xml but this should be Content-Type: text/xml charset=UTF-8 for completeness. This probably isn't the issue since your text is rendering correctly on my end, but it may help avoid future problems.

Please let me know if changing your browser's encoding setting doesn't fix the display issue.

Hi Rahul. Is the text in the bundle that you've linked tonotappearingcorrectly
in IE 6? It looks fine for me. Can you provide a screen capture that shows what you're seeing? Either throw it up on your server and link to it here (preferred) or send it to me directly.

Actually, looking a little deeper, I notice your message bundle doesn't have any information about the character encoding. Your bundles and your application spec must have the following in the first line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Please make this change and try adding the application again to see if you see the expected description. Keep in mind that you may have to change the application's name slightly in order tonotsee a cached result. If this doesn't fix the problem, please let me know.
