encoding problem of Console

I use the j2se 1.4.2_05-b04, and met a problem.

the code is as follow, I have encoded the source code with UTF-8

OutputStreamWriter ow = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out,"UTF-8");

System.out.println(ow.getEncoding());

ow.write(" ?);

ow.flush();

ow.close();

I got the result:

UTF8

莽鈥� 鈥� 鈥�

鈥� 鈥�

--

then I changed it with

OutputStreamWriter ow = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out);

...

the result:

GBK

?

the encoding of ISO-8859-1 was even worse:

ISO8859_1

�? ? ? ? ?

-

It made no difference even after add System.setProperty("file.encoding",

"UTF-8");

How can I get the Latin letter printed proper on console
