The answer to your question is yes, Java can handle and
display these characters...if you have a supporting font AND
if you have configured your font.properties file correctly.
You will find an article in a recent edition of
"Multilingual Computing and Technologies" that describes how
to display Unicode with Java's composite font mechanism.
