"A" is a string (or char), not an int.  Try JMenuItem( "Argh!", ord("A") ).


>>> java.lang.Character.getNumericValue( "A" )

>>> java.lang.Character.getNumericValue( "B" )
11

it looks to me like that java method is reading the character as a hex
digit, but it goes beyond the base 16 limit.

>>> java.lang.Character.getNumericValue( "F" )
15
>>> java.lang.Character.getNumericValue( "G" )
16
>>> java.lang.Character.getNumericValue( "H" )
17
