title: JMeter sample response encoding
body: <p>I'm having problems with JMeter's handling of unicode characters. When a sample response contains such characters, they are returned corrupted.
  For example, I'm using the dummy sampler with this response data:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Hauptschule Sankt Pýlten, Pottenbrunn
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And JMeter returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Hauptschule Sankt P�lten, Pottenbrunn
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've set these properties in saveservice.properties and jmeter.properties respectively:</p>
  
  <pre><code>_file_encoding=UTF-8
  sampleresult.default.encoding=UTF-8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it makes no difference.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to fix this?
  Thanks</p>
