That's weird. When I try this, the character U+0025, the '%', is echoed. :)
Anyway, yes, this is a problem. I'll look into it.

When you specify \u25ef in TextField.setEchoChar(), '*' is echoed.
To reproduce, exec the following.

import java.awt.* ;
public class testTextField extends java.applet.Applet {
    Frame window ;
    public void init() {
window = new MyFrame("test case of java.awt.ScrollPane") ;
window.resize(300,100) ;
window.show() ;
    }
}

class MyFrame extends Frame {

    MyFrame(String title) {
super(title) ;

TextField tf = new TextField(20) ;
tf.setEchoCharacter('\u25ef') ;
add(tf) ;

setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER)) ;
    }
}
