Probably it's a font issue; try to change the font to "Arial MS Unicode" and see
if it helps (assuming you have that font available).

For the characters that come out as 'junk' print the character's codepoint, i.e.
convert the char to an int and print that; do the codepoint makes sense? If not,
you still have your conversion problem, if they do, it's a font issue.

Did you read my previous reply? Either it's a font issue or it isn't. The Arial MS Unicode
font can display Russian (Cyrillic) characters. You wrote that they still show as junk
characters so (probably) it isn't a font problem; it couls be a conversion problem. That's
why I suggested to print out the code point values of the characters and check whether
or not they show up correctly. Also see the charts from the Unicode Table for the
correct code point values. It's your software so you have to fix it.

Have you checked if your system's default *encoding* is UTF-8? Check out
the overloaded 'getBytes()' methods in the String class.
