Javadoc View Inconsistent with javadoc:javadoc

[watuwo]

Consider the Java file "Cat.java":

package org.foo.bar;

/**
 * This class defines the representation of a \uD83D\uDC08.
 */
public class Cat {}

In the "Javadoc" View (a tab in the Eclipse IDE next to "Problems", "Declaration" and "Console") I see:

This class defines the representation of a \uD83D\uDC08.

When I run the clean compile javadoc:javadoc Maven goals (Right click on project > Run As > Maven build...; add JAVA_HOME: "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home/"; specify goals; run) I get:

This class defines the representation of a 🐈.

Shouldn't Eclipse's "Javadoc" View and javadoc:javadoc render the comment in the same way?

Thanks for this report. The Javadoc view is provided by the JDT sub-project. We cannot transfer issues to the eclipse-jdt organization, so can you please re-report it to https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui/ ?

Thank you for the response. I have created this issue: https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui/issues/492

Thanks for forwarding the issue; I'm closing it here so it's not tracked in JDT.
