有没有办法在 java 上打印不同语言的字符？

Question

I've been working on an assignment in java but when i try to write any Amharic characters they turn into boxes

for example, when I try to print this Amharic character (አማርኛ) on IntelliJ or net beans it shows it as little boxes

if anyone is familiar with this please take a look, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'm assuming you are referring to the output console in IntelliJ. Default the console encoding is UTF-8. You can edit this setting.

Go to help >> edit custom vm options and add (first click "create" if it's your first time there): "-Dconsole.encoding=UTF-8" (but replace UTF-8 with the one you need)

Google for "console encoding" + name of your editor if you want more information. Good luck: :)

Answer 2

You a need a font that supoorts Amharic.

• If you don't have already one installed download for example Abyssinica SIL Or WashRa free-geez-font or ethiopia-jiret

I am using Abyssinica SIL as an example below and NetBeans IDE

Editor

• unpack the zip file a and install the font by running "AbyssinicaSIL-Regular.ttf" file
• In Netbeans IDE select Tools > Options and click the Fonts & Colors icon
• On the Syntax tab click the braces (...) on the right of the Font field and choose the Abyssinica SIL font you just installed, and click OK.
• Amharic text should now be correctly desplyed in the editor window but not in the output window. For the output follow below steps

Output

• In NetBeans Ouput window right click and select Settings... , click the Miscellaneous icon, and then click the Output tab
• Click the Import... button
• Click the Browse... button and choose the Zip file you downloaded above.(AbyssinicaSIL-2.000.zip)
• click OK to close the Select Options to import window you'll get a warning "Import may irreversibly overwrite your current settings..." You can trust me on this and ignore the warning and click Yes to continue and restart NetBeans.
• After the restart: right click on the Ouput window and select Settings... > Miscellaneous > Output Click on the (...) button to the right of the Font field and choose the Abyssinica SIL font and click OK . Amharic text will now render correctly in the Output window.
