FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-b21, mixed mode)

Operating System: kernel 2.4.18 glibc 2.2.4-24

Windows 2000, Solaris 2.8


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using OutputStreamWriter to generate text in the ISO-8859-7 (Greek) encoding, several characters that do exist in that encoding are instead output as a question mark; specifically

0x2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
0x2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run attached source code

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The attached source code should generate a file containing a left and a right single quotation mark in the ISO-8859-7 encoding. Instead it generates a file containing two question marks.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

    out.write(0x2019);
    out.write("\r\n");
