As seen on the screenshot below, Confluence 5.x welcome content does not work properly when using the bundled German language pack:

      All encoding settings are correct and umlaut characters display correctly in an later-entered content.

      As one of our customers pointed out, the problem is having \UFFD string in the place of "ö" and "ü" characters. Normallz these should be:

      \u00f6 ö
      \u00fc ü

      The problem is described on the following wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character
