FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)


FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :Windows 2000


ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS : Solaris 8



A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Following is the test.java file.
1. Use gb2312 or simplified chinese locale.
2. Uncomment System.out.println step.
3. compile the program.
4. Run the program java -classpath relevantpaths;path to
charsets.jar test abc
5. You will be able to see some chinese character and abc.
6. Copy the chinese character.
7. comment System.out.println step
8. Compile the program.
9. Run the program as java -classpath relevantpaths; path to
charsets.jar test chinese characters.
10. You will be able to see the pattern chinese char
chinesechar ? chinese char chinesechar.
11. Conclusion : The middle character is not getting
recognized by java.
12. Both netscape 6.0 and ie5 supports this character.
    Netscape 4.7 does not support this character.


import java.io.*;
public class test
{
  public void performTask(String toDisplay)
  {
        try
        {
               
//System.out.println("\310\313\303\361\225F\271\247\272\330");
                OutputStreamWriter streamw =
                   new OutputStreamWriter(System.out,
"GB2312");
                PrintWriter out1 = new PrintWriter(streamw,
false);
                out1.println(toDisplay);
                out1.flush();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {}
  }

   public static void main(String[] argc)
   {

     test t = new test();
     t.performTask(argc[0]);
    }
}


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Following is the test.java file.
1. Use gb2312 or simplified chinese locale.
2. Uncomment System.out.println step.
3. compile the program.
4. Run the program java -classpath relevantpaths;path to
charsets.jar test abc
5. You will be able to see some chinese character and abc.
6. Copy the chinese character.
7. comment System.out.println step
8. Compile the program.
9. Run the program as java -classpath relevantpaths; path to
charsets.jar test chinese characters.
10. You will be able to see the pattern chinese char
chinesechar ? chinese char chinesechar.
11. Conclusion : The middle character is not getting
recognized by java.
12. Both netscape 6.0 and ie5 supports this character.
    Netscape 4.7 does not support this character.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Same as in system.out.println step.

This bug can be reproduced always.
