This is from Oracle, a Java licensee.
The Oracle bug number is 675734.
    
This bug did occur with 1.1.6. Please consider this a regression problem,
and examine it ASAP.

To reproduce this problem the following code should be compiled with javac and
run with appletviewer.
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.lang.System;
public class tf extends Applet
{
  TextField tf1, tf2, tf3;
  Label l1, l2;
  public void init() {
    Locale myLocale = Locale.getDefault();
    tf1 = new TextField("Hello");
    tf2 = new TextField(myLocale.getDisplayLanguage());
    tf3 = new TextField("\u65e5\u672c");
    l1 = new Label(myLocale.getDisplayLanguage());
    l2 = new Label("\u65e5\u672c");
    GridBagLayout gridBag = new GridBagLayout();
    setLayout(gridBag);
    GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
    c.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
    c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
    gridBag.setConstraints(tf1, c);
    add(tf1);
    gridBag.setConstraints(tf2, c);
    add(tf2);
    gridBag.setConstraints(tf3, c);
    add(tf3);
    gridBag.setConstraints(l1, c);
    add(l1);
    gridBag.setConstraints(l2, c);
    add(l2);
    validate();
  }
}
This program calls getDisplayLanguage in a TextField as well as trying to
display some CJK Unicode characters in a TextField. This fails for the
following Windows NT4 Regional Setting/Languages:
Arabic, Czech, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian,
Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Hebrew, and Thai. It is also
believed to affect Hungarian and Polish though this sample program doesn't show
that well. Note that this probably affects a much larger set of languages.
Also, this problem also appears in JDK1.1.4FCS.
This program includes a display of the same getDisplayLanguage and CJK
characters in Label components instead of TextField components. The Label
components display without problem. It is not clear how many AWT components
are affected by this bug, but another sample program has shown this bug in List
componenets.
It should also be noted that within an English OS this problem affects all the
languages listed above. In any localized OS, the languages affects will be
other than the local language and any Latin1 language. For example, testing
in the Japanese environment shows correct display of Japanese and Latin1
characters, but all non-Japanese, non-Latin1 languages fail.
