The default character set on WinXP (which I use) is windows-1252 (cp1252). Check out http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0505.html.
If I were to change my source file encodings to UTF-8 that would probably get me some mileage. Of course, I would have to use an editor that supports it and not all editors would (on windows). However, it wouldn't change anything in the REPL. Presumably, stdin in Java is tied to the platform's default encoding and there is probably no way to change that. My understanding is that clojure assumes reading a file and reading stdin is the same thing encoding-wise. That's a faulty assumption. Typically, I believe clojure should read and write to/from the default character set unless specifically told otherwise. UTF-8 is not the default on all platforms.
