      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.4.2-beta"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b19)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-beta-b19, mixed mode)

      Interestingly, everything is ok with:
      java version "1.3.1_04"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_04-b02)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_04-b02, mixed mode)

      FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
      Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 [Version 5.00.2195]
        with the German locale setting
      java.util.Locale.getDefault() correctly yields "de_DE"

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Filenames with certain unicode characters are not correctly
      translated to the platform. Problem characters include "u0084" (double
      low-9 quotation mark) and "\u0093" (left double quotation mark)

      java version "1.3.1_04"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
      1.3.1_04-b02)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_04-b02, mixed mode)
      works ok.

      REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Compile Code
      2. Run
      3. Look for the generated file in Explorer

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      Expected: A file with filename of >>òÁ?FilenameòÁ?<<
      Actual: A file with filename of >>äFilenameô<<


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
      import java.io.FileOutputStream;
      import java.io.File;

      public class FileError {
          
          public FileError() {
          }
          
          public static void main(String[] args) {
              String filename = "\u0084Filename\u0093";
              File file = new File(filename);
              try {
                  FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
                  out.close();
              }
              catch (Exception ex) {
              }
          }
          
      }
