I’m using Eclipse for programming. In one method of my project i used the String “§”. I use a svn repository. If i edit the file with Ubuntu OS the § symbol isnt displayed correctly in the eclipse editor and also in my programm, if I edited it before on Windows. The same is vice versa.

Any hints how to solve this problem? I don’t want to always change the symbol manually if I comitted a new version from another OS

    Check the “Text file encoding” of your sources.

    I would recommend in your case UTF-8.

    You can also set the default type in Preferences / General / Content Type / Text / Java source file
