This is an encoding issue. Set the output encoding to the one used for your templates. Consider to set the resource encoding for your project to project specific setting. Usual values for encoding are UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.

	<component class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator">
...
		<outlet path="${src-gen}" fileEncoding="UTF-8">
			<postprocessor class="org.eclipse.xpand2.output.JavaBeautifier" />
		</outlet>
	</component>
