Q:

java Portuguese charset

I have a problem with the charset on my program.
Using netbeans, when I run my program, on the output window opçõesshows as expected but using command prompt it shows like opþ§es.
On project properties, encoding is set to UTF-8 so I changed to windows-1252 (I believe that this is the portuguese charset) and now opções shows as op├º├Áes.
How can I fix this to opções shows as opções?

A:

Don't change anything in your program. If it works correctly in NetBeans, then it runs correctly. You're seeing strange characters in the Windows command prompt because it doesn't handle non-ascii chars correctly. The problem is in the Windows command prompt, not in your program.
See Unicode characters in Windows command line - how?
