FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If a document contains a traditional chinese (4-bytes UTF-8 character) after a numeric character reference, the resulting DOM has garbage characters.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the test case.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
All tests should be successful.

ACTUAL -
testCharRefAndRawChineseChar() fails.
The characters of the the numeric reference itself are inserted before the unescaped chinese character( "80" in the test case).

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
