Unicode characters not displayed in TextView.setText
<p>I can't get a TextView to correctly dynamically display unicode characters, and it's driving me batty.  I've stripped it down to the bare minimum, but the TextView populated by setText still shows diamonds with question marks inside them for the unicode characters.  The version populated from strings.xml shows the multibyte characters perfectly.  Here's the activity:</p>

<pre><code>public class TestMultibyteActivity extends Activity
{
  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState )
  {
    super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );
    setContentView( R.layout.main );
    TextView textField = (TextView) findViewById( R.id.text_field );
    String str = "Tübingen systemportefølje";
    Log.d( "MULTIBYTE", str ); //note that this prints the multibyte chars correctly.
    //EDIT: oh crap, no it doesn't.  might be onto something here...
    textField.setText( str );
  }
}
</code></pre>

<p>And here's the layout:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt;
  &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/text_field"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/&gt;
  &lt;TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/unicodechars"/&gt;
&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Here's strings.xml:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;resources&gt;
  &lt;string name="app_name"&gt;TestMultibyteActivity&lt;/string&gt;
  &lt;string name="unicodechars"&gt;Tübingen systemportefølje&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;/resources&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I'm building with ant.  Here's my default.properties:</p>

<pre><code>target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:8
</code></pre>

<p>And here's my AndroidManifest.xml</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.mycompany.android.multibyte"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0"&gt;
    &lt;application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon"&gt;
        &lt;activity android:name="TestMultibyteActivity"
                  android:label="@string/app_name"&gt;
            &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt;
                &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
            &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
        &lt;/activity&gt;
    &lt;/application&gt;
&lt;/manifest&gt; 
</code></pre>

<p>I've tinkered with everything I can think of, but it seems like unicode characters are getting split by the CharSequence interface, and I can't figure out why.</p>
