Unsupported VM Encoding error

I'm trying to access a database which has some data in chinese language. So when I try to connect to the database I get the following error:

Unsupported VM Encoding MS936

where MS936 is the code for chinese.

I tried alot of things including installing some internationaliztion support version of JRE and also made sure that charsets.jar file was in /lib folder of JRE, but the problem still persists.

Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

This is a driver problem so that is where you need to look for a solution.

And for starters you need to identify the database vendor, database version, driver and driver version.

It is also going to help to find out the exact name of the character set that is being used. If no one knows then it can be gotten via an OS/platform that already uses the database.
