Hello Ullrich, not sure,
I think that current Windows JVM implementations from sun only understand ascii command line parameters, because they were coded using the -A APIs of Microsoft, instead of the -W APIs. I know that with JDK 1.4, it is not possible to run "java Shalom" if you write Shalom in Hebrew. it is probably also not possible to run "java Bär" (supposing you have written Bär.java and compiled it into Bär.class) Cheers, Antoine Pollähne.
