Symptoms

The WLS bundled library moxy eclipselink fail to handle multi-bytes characters on version 12.1.3. The bundled version is moxy 2.5.2 which incorrectly handles the conversion. It converts emoji character using UTF-16 instead of UTF-8 even though the encoding character set is specified as UTF-8. The failure is in string writer when generating xml doc. But it correctly uses UTF-8 character set when generating JSON object.
