[Building Sakai] [Assignment tool ] Zip upload/download does not format special character properly

[Cyril Mace]

Hello Sam,

The JIRA, as specified in SAK-20556 
<https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-20556> the patch (now 
integrated in the trunk) "solves the problem using text normalizer 
libraries. It replaces the known simbols like accents for the same 
letter without accents"

/*mon_résultat.txt*//is then changed to //*mon_r*//*e*//*sultat.txt*/ 
which is fine.

Our biggest issue is when we edit the comments.txt file using accents (é 
for example)  in the comment, then zip the file and use the "Upload All" 
feature to grade all the submissions of an assignment :  é are replaced 
by �characters.
I have not seen a JIRA for that specific case, I will create one with 
more details about how to reproduce this issue.
