How can I display data from ResultSet to a component like jLable and JTable

Question

hi there
My code as shown below
boolean fillTable(int type){
        try{
            //model.setRowCount(0);
            if(type == 1){
                System.out.println("line 1");
                model = new DefaultTableModel(new Object [][] {   },
                        new String[] { "\u1200 Code", "Description" });
                System.out.println("line 2");
                while(lookup.rs2.next()){
                    System.out.println("line in while");
                    model.addRow(new String[] { lookup.rs2.getString("code"),
                        "\u1201 " + lookup.rs2.getString("amdescription")});
                      //System.out.println("While : " + lookup.rs2.getString("code") + " " +
                        //      lookup.rs2.getString("amdescription"));
                lookup.rs2.last();
                String str;
                str =  new String (lookup.rs2.getString("amdescription"));
                jLabel2.setText(str);
                System.out.println("line 3");
                tblLookup.setModel(model);
                System.out.println("line 4");
            else if(type == 2){
                System.out.println("line else if 1");
        }catch(Exception ex)    {
            System.out.println("Exception @ MilLookupDisplay fillTable : " + ex.getMessage());
            return false;
        return true;
    }I can read from access db and put the resultset on rs2 , it works fine
my problem is when I try to display the data ( which is amharic unicode character ) on jTable and jLabel as shown it displays '???'
besides I have checked the font by giving unicode like '\u1200' on both component displays it well
so is there something to do before trying to display unicode characters from resultSet
please I ' m waiting
thanks a lot
