Strange characters/Unicode

Hi,

When running a normal Java application which does...

s = new String("-" +  "\u011F" + "\u0131" + "\u015F" + "-");
System.out.println(s);

... in WDSC, I only get -???- instead of the special characters.  Is there a 
way to get them displayed correctly (without changing my regional settings 
completely) ?  (when I open up IE, and go to a Turkish website I do see the 
corresponding characters).

And further... when I try to use the same string in a servlet to output it to a 
JSP, the character neither show up as they should be.  I now have a routine 
that replaces them with their escape sequence, but this isn't perfect and far 
from practical.  Somehow this should work another way... but how ?

Kind regards,
Paul
