Not able to send euro character ' €' via socket

Question

OS : Solaris - The solaris login profile is set with LC_CTYPE, LC_CTYPE, LC_LANG=ISO-8859-15 and we are able to see this when we run the set command and also locale in solaris.
JRE : 1.6
Application deployed in Weblogic 10.3
I m trying to send a euro character in java via socket, but in the receiving end not able to receive properly. Even I have to tried to set the Charset ( in the java code )
as ISO-8859-15 , but still it didn't work properly. Code snippet for the sample program to display euro symbol
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
public class Euro {
public static String createString( byte[] bytes, String enc )
String CResult = null;
try {
CResult = new String( bytes, enc );
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return CResult;
// ISO8859-15 is same as ISO8859-1 but with EUR character
public static String createStringISO8859_15( byte[] bytes )
String CResultISO = null;
CResultISO = new String( bytes, Charset.forName("ISO-8859-15" ));
return CResultISO;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//String enc = "€";
byte[] iso8859_15 = { (byte) 0xA4 }; // euro sign
//byte[] iso8859_15 = "0xA4".getBytes(); // euro sign
/*     String Cresult = Euro.createString (iso8859_15, enc);
System.out.println("createString Result : " + Cresult);*/
String CresultISO = Euro.createStringISO8859_15(iso8859_15);
System.out.println("createStringISO8859_15 Result : " + CresultISO);
When I 'm running the above code in windows it is working fine whereas in Solaris it is not working. The console just displays ?, rather than the actual '€' symbol. Is this a display problem in console of vt100 or porgramming? Kindly suggest. How to make this work in Solaris.

Please repost or edit that mess with {noformat}{noformat} tags and proper indenting so it can actually be read.
And then explain what sockets have to do with the price of fish.
