Hi Sriram,
Thanks for your response. But, please check my post where under "Checks to troubleshoot" section I have already mentioned about this note. I have checked it, but no junk characters or no help.
I have used: UltraEdit as an UTF8 editor and also saved the (pc1.properties) file in UTF8 format with the help of MS Word, did a lot of stuffs, but no help!
Thanks,
Avishek
