The previous answer from Andreas_D is good. I'm just going to add that wherever you are displaying the output there will be a font and a character encoding and it may not support some characters.

To work out whether it is Java or your display that is a problem, do this:

    for(int i=0;i

Java will have mapped any characters it cannot understand to 0xfffd the official character for unknown characters. If you see a '?' in the output, but it is not mapped to 0xfffd, it is your display font or encoding that is the problem, not Java.
