The save method of java.util.Properties outputs corrupted Unicode
data. The following program reproduces the problem. Note that the test
result includes Japanese text (EUC).

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class testPro{
public static void main(String args[]){
String[][] contents = {
         {"s1", "3"},
{"s2", "MeinDisk"},
{"s3", "\u6f22\u5b57"},
{"s4", "3 Mar 96"},
};

Properties props = new Properties();
for (int i = 0; i < contents.length; ++i) {
props.put(contents[i][0],contents[i][1]);
}

try{
FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("JavaTest");
props.save(file, "Properties");
file.close();
}
catch(IOException a){
a.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

The result in the output file, JavaTest:
