My guess is that this is a problem with Windows really, not Java... If the
OS doesn't send correct Unicode to Java, and won't display Unicode
characters sent by Java I don't see how Java itself can be blamed.

Still, if anyone knows how to get ALL of Unicode to work under Windows 95
I'd sure like to know. I experimented a bit with using
TextFields/JTextFields, downloading the IE unicode support, various fonts,
Korean/Chinese/etc. language support...

All I managed to do was to wreck my greek characters which worked previously
:-(
