What encoding I should use in editor (NetBeans), if I were intend to print non-english character
- by Yan Cheng CHEOK
I try to set the encoding of my editor to UTF-16. (Java String store the data in UTF-16 internally, right?)
And I type the following code
package helloworld;
/**
*
* @author yan-cheng.cheok
*/
public class Main {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
System.out.println("???");
System.out.println("\u6587\u4EF6\u79CD\u7C7B");
}
}
However, the output is not what I expected :

?????
I try to change the editor encoding format to UTF-8, it works this time!

May I know why I need to change the editor encoding format to UTF-8 but not UTF-16? Isn't Java String store the data in UTF-16 internally?
