Answer 1

Your terminal does not support UTF-8, you're most likely running Windows. Google to see how to change that.

Answer 2

The problem is almost certainly with the characters your default console/ide can display. Even when displayed on the screen, utf characters need a utf enabled font for them to render correctly.

There are probably Java UTF text editors on GitHub that you could use as a console replacement. Then what you need is an OutputStream that will append to the text editor panel (I created something of this ilk years ago: https://sourceforge.net/p/tus/code/HEAD/tree/tjacobs/TextAreaOutputStream.java ) and then you need to use

System.setOut

and

System.setErr

With your Stream
