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 :
Unicode characters 0x200E and 0x200F (the right to left and left to right marks) are not correctly output in the ISO-8859-8 (Hebrew) encoding

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run attached program

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I expect the bytes FD and FE in the output file. Instead
there are two copies of the byte 3F. That is, the question
mark is being used as a replacement character.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
