Created Directory's name encoding confusing

Question

I would like to create a directory name which contains some non-ASCII characters. For example:

File exampleDir = new File(fullPath + File.separator + "ĞÜŞİÖÇ-ğüşiöç");
exampledir.mkdir();

But this created directory name like c:\test\�Ü�İÖÇ-ğüşiöç instead of c:\test\ĞÜŞİÖÇ-ğüşiöç.jpg.

I tried to start the JVM with -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 but that didn't change anything.

Answer 1

The class file are not compiled with correct encoding. I can reproduce the problem:

1. Create java source file and save it using UTF-8 encoding.
2. Compiled it with other encoding (For example: javac -encoding ISO-8859-1 Test.java)
