Java“ \\ u0001something”未返回预期结果

Question

I'm trying to put together a string that starts with the ascii "Start of Header" character (0x01). I did this on my home computer simple enough with:

String out = "\u0001this";
System.out.println(out);

prints a square to the terminal.. Copy and paste to hex editor and I have my 0x01;

Now at work.. I do the same thing but anything below 0x20 just prints 0x00 to the terminal. As soon as I do "\ " I get a space printed to output.. Any idea whats going on.

可能想要检查您正在使用的文件编码，默认情况下JVM运行的字符集，等等。不同的环境可能会有不同的设置。

Answer 2

This is almost surely a function of your terminal emulator or other program displaying what is written to standard out. This character is by definition non-printable, so what a terminal does to 'display' it likely varies. Some print a box, some a blank, some nothing.

If you are relying on how a non-printable character is printed, which isn't defined, maybe that is the issue? what problem does it cause?

Answer 3

Can you write this string directly to a file and open that file in the hex editor? By writing the text to the console and then relying on cut-and-paste to move the bytes to a different application, there are quite a few intermediate steps that could be messing with your data.

I suspect that your code is actually working but you're unintentionally obscuring your own (correct) results.
