OK, so you're running on java 1.6, which means that you will benefit
from Oti Humbels improvement on retrieving the console encoding[1],
which you can access like this

>>> sys.stdout.encoding
cp437



For you, it should say "utf-8".

OK, so this proves that the output encoding of whatever terminal is
compatible with displaying UTF-8.

But I'm still not clear you're executing this code. You say its
running embedded in a java program, but the examples you post look
like command line output?

Try inserting a "print sys.stdout.encoding" before the other print statement.
