Robot unable to write UTF-8 characters

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a robot write a UTF-8 String with non-ASCII characters (for
instance, "Oásis")
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of the expected characters, squares with question marks appear.
For instance, instead of "Oásis" the robot writes "O��sis".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 3.5.1 on Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
A robot seems to be able to read UTF-8 characters successfully, but trying
to write a UTF-8 string (created using, for instance, new String(text,
"UTF-8")) results in the above bug.
