Are you asking why those non-ASCII characters are printing incorrectly? It's because the console is still treating the output as ASCII. The JVM is encoding each character as two bytes according to the UTF-8 spec, but the console is treating each byte as a separate, ASCII-encoded character. Changing the locale of the OS or the "file.encoding" property of the JVM doesn't affect the behavior of the console.
When I run your code on my WinXP machine (leaving "file.encoding" at its default setting), I get this output: // __ System.getProperty("file.encoding"): |Cp1252|
// __ |en_US|
// __ |225|�|
// __ |233|Θ|
// __ |237|φ|
// __ |243|≤|
// __ |250|�|
// __ |252|ⁿ|
// __ |241|�|
// __ |191|┐|
// __ |161|�|
// __ |251|√|
// __ |224|α|
// __ |223|▀|
// __ |232|Φ|
// __ |235|δ| The JVM is outputting the text as cp1252, but the console is treating it as cp437, its default codepage (encoding). When I change the console's encoding with the command "CHCP 1252" and run the code again, I get: // __ System.getProperty("file.encoding"): |Cp1252|
// __ |en_US|
// __ |225|�|
// __ |233|�|
// __ |237|�|
// __ |243|�|
// __ |250|�|
// __ |252|�|
// __ |241|�|
// __ |191|�|
// __ |161|�|
// __ |251|�|
// __ |224|�|
// __ |223|�|
// __ |232|�|
// __ |235|�| I don't know if it's possible to change the encoding of the console in your OS, but that's not a showstopper. Just write the output to a file, then use a reasonably capable text editor to view the result. And there's no need to change all those OS/JVM settings; just specify the encoding when you open the file for writing: FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("out.txt");
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "UTF-8");
