    Byte 0xEE is translated by JVM to character "\u203E" using
encodig cp856 (cp856_Hebrew_PC). But according to latest unicode
translation tables
(ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/CP856.TXT)
byte 0xEE should be mapped to character "\u00AF"
    The same behavior is observed under Solaris.

------------------------- test.java ----------------------------------
class test {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        byte ba[] = {(byte) 0xEE};
        String s = new String(ba, "Cp856");
        System.out.println("\\u"+Integer.toHexString(s.charAt(0)).toUpperCase());
    }
}
