如何在Mac上从Java输出重音字符？

Question

I'm trying to output accented characters from java into the Console app on a mac, however they just show up as ?'s. I've tried using System.console().writer() to output as well as just System.out, but they both produce the same result. It seems that maybe I need a different charset?

Answer 1

If you are seeing '?'s from the console, the console font you are using does not support those characters. Try switching the font of the console (you might try Trebuchet MS, or Century).

EDIT: If you think the source is incorrect, you might try modifying it to use Java unicode escape characters in the string literal, ala "Hell\ö W\örld!" for "Hellö Wörld!"

The following link will convert a string with unicode characters into escaped literals: http://www.snible.org/java2/uni2java.html

Answer 2

What was wrong in the end was the character encoding setting in Console.app. I went to the preferences and changed that to "Western (Mac OS Roman)" and it worked fine after that.
