title: jsp compile error
body: <p>I have following line in a <code>jsp</code> page from an open source project:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html:option value="micg"&gt;µg&lt;/html:option&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I compile it using <code>maven</code> following code is generated:</p>
  
  <pre><code>_jspx_th_html_005foption_005f9.setValue("micg");
      int _jspx_eval_html_005foption_005f9 = _jspx_th_html_005foption_005f9.doStartTag();
      if (_jspx_eval_html_005foption_005f9 != javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.Tag.SKIP_BODY) {
        if (_jspx_eval_html_005foption_005f9 != javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.Tag.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE) {
          out = _jspx_page_context.pushBody();
          _jspx_th_html_005foption_005f9.setBodyContent((javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.BodyContent) out);
          _jspx_th_html_005foption_005f9.doInitBody();
        }
        do {
          out.write('Â');
          out.write('µ');
          out.write('g');
          int evalDoAfterBody = _jspx_th_html_005foption_005f9.doAfterBody();
          if (evalDoAfterBody != javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_AGAIN)
            break;
        } while (true);
        if (_jspx_eval_html_005foption_005f9 != javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.Tag.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE) {
          out = _jspx_page_context.popBody();
        }
      }
