Viewing unicode strings in Intellij Idea debugger

Question

How to view Unicode encoded strings in Intellij Idea debugger data view? e.g. consider following code

String str = "सुझाव"; //some Unicode string: utf-8
String str1 = "\u0938\u0941\u091d\u093e\u0935";
System.out.println(str);

Not able to view the variable- str - in data view of debugger, it shows garbage value. Even though set value shows proper value.

Any suggestions/work-arounds?

Probably, missing some encoding setting somewhere.

Check project encoding. I have same issue. Idea shows variables content encoding in WIN-1252. In version in Editor > File Encodigs you have: IDE Encoding, and Project Encoding. After changing Project Encoding to UTF-8 everything looks ok.
