How to display double byte characters with system.out.print?

Question

Hi, I'm a newbie java programmer having trouble to utilize java locale with system io on dos console mode.
Platform is winxp, jvm1.5,
File structure is:
C:\myProg <-root
C:\myProg\test <-package
C:\myProg\test\Run.java
C:\myProg\test\MessageBundle.properties <- default properties
C:\myProg\test\MessageBundle_zh_HK.properties <- localed properties (written in notepad and save as Unicode, window notepad contains BOM)
inside MessageBundle.properties:
test = Hello
inside Message_zh_HK.properties:
test = &#21890; //hello in big5 encoding
run.java:
package test;
import java.util.*;
public class Run{
  public static void main(String[] args){
    Locale locale = new Locale("zh","HK");
    ResourceBundle resource =
        ResourceBundle.getbundle("test.MessageBundle", locale);
    System.out.println(resource.getString("test"));
  }//main
}//classwhen run this program, it'll kept diplay "hello" instead of the encoded character...
then when i try run the native2ascii tool against MessageBundle_zh_HK.properties, it starts to display monster characters instead.
Trying to figure out what I did wrong and how to display double byte characters on console.
Thank you.
p.s: while googling, some said dos can only can display ASCII. To demonstrate the dos console is capable of displaying double byte characters, i wrote another helloWorld in chinese using notepad with C# and compile using "csc hello.cs", sure enough, console.write in c# allowed me to display the character I was expecting. Since dos console can print double byte characters, I must be missing something important in this java program.

after google a brunch, I learned that javac (hence java.exe) does not support BOM (byte order mark).
I had to use a diff editor to save my text file as unicode without BOM in order for native2ascii to convert into a ascii file.
Even the property file is in ascii format, I'm still having trouble to display those character in dos console. In fact, I just noticed I can use system.out.println to display double byte character if I embedded the character itself in java source file:
public class Run {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException{
          String msg = "&#20013;&#25991;";    //double byte character
                try{
                System.out.println(new String(msg.getBytes("UTF-8")) + " new string");  //this displays fine
                catch(Exception e){}
                Locale locale = new Locale("zh", "HK");
          ResourceBundle resource = ResourceBundle.getBundle("test.MessagesBundle", locale);
                System.out.println(resource.getString("Hey"));      //this will display weird characterso it seems like to me that I must did something wrong in the process of creating properties file from unicode text file...
