JAVA program accepting Devanagari(UTF8) charaters

Question

What settings are needed so that Java class main method can accept Marathi/Devanagarai/UTF-8 characters. e.g.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       System.out.println(args[0]);
       System.out.println("भारत");
    }

In eclipse Java run arguments if I specify argument as "abc" it prints

abc
भारत

But If I specify Marathi/Devanagarai/UTF-8 string e.g. "कौशिक" then it prints

?????
भारत

What extra settings to be done in eclipse ? Later I want to excute this program from jar using command and call it from PHP e.g. java -cp xyz.jar DevanagariTest कौशिक What extra parameters will be needed at that time ?

This works fine for me on Eclipse Oxygen. Exactly how are you specifying the arguments? What do you have for the Encoding on the Common tab of the Run Configuration? — greg-449, Sep 02 '17 at 06:47
You still haven't shown us the Encoding setting on the Common tab. — greg-449, Sep 02 '17 at 08:53
As workaround you could encode/decode the argument, e. g. `%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95` instead of `कौशिक` and `java.net.URLDecoder.decode(args[0], "UTF-8")` instead of `args[0]`. — howlger, Sep 02 '17 at 14:13

I think it has something to do with your default system encoding. You can try to start the Java Programm with an additional Argument:

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

It did not work. I added image of my configuration. Please check. – Kaushik Lele Sep 02 '17 at 07:25
