Character Encoding in Java

Question

In eclipse, I changed the default encoding to ISO-8859-1. Then I wrote this:

String str = "Русский язык ";
PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(System.out, true, "UTF-8");
ps.print(str);

It should print the String correctly, as I am specifying UTF-8 encoding. However, it is not printing.

Answer 1

The ISO-8859-1 character encoding only supports characters between 0 and 255, and anything else is likely to be turned into '?'
