Re: JDBC and unicode characters

I've been exploring this problem and my research suggests that this  
is more likely to be a problem with Java or Java and the bash shell.

This can be illustrated by compiling and running this class.

// You will need to save this as a unicode encoded file
// To compile the file use javac -encoding UTF-8 NiHao.java

public class NiHao {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         String nihao = "你好" ;
         System.out.println("The Chinese for hello is: " + nihao) ;
     }
}

// If in the line String nihao ... "??" is displayed in this email or  
on the web page then look at this link to see the proper Chinese  
characters.  http://freespace.virgin.net/i.stanton/NiHao.html .

Basically for me the output is wrong.  I do not get The Chinese for  
hello is 你好.
I get The Chinese for hello is ??.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
