STAT1 alpha get's converted to STAT1α #24

Greek letters, and special characters in general, do not get properly encoded and decoded by the libsbgn java library. This is clearly visible in the "and.sbgn" test-case.

I changed the label 'STATalpha'. The alpha is stored as the character for alpha in the xml file and not α any more. α (instead of α) would work as well. It is correctly read by the library and encoded as character alpha. But when I store it again, the alpha is stored as character alpha.

Tobias, you solved the symptom, but not the disease. I really think we should do more to solve this.

Opening it again....

Nevermind, I misunderstood. You really use "STAT1α" not "STAT1alpha" So the lesson here is that if we create the xml manually, we have to use UTF-8 encoding and it works just fine.
