Mine

		try {
			String f = sc.readLine();
			System.out.println("char=|" + f + "|");
			if (f.equals("ö"))
				System.out.println("Seems OK!");
			else
				System.out.println("Not OK :(");
		} catch (IOException x) {
			x.printStackTrace();
		}


Starting this, and inputting "ö" yields:

ö
char=|ö|
Not OK :(

However, if I run the very same program from within Eclipse, or on Linux, it works just fine:

ö
char=|ö|
Seems OK!


Anyone know why this happens? I'm guessing it has something to do with the commandprompt on Windows 2000 and maybe locales?
