FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0_76"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_76-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.76-b04, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The unicode French characters \u00ee ( î ), \u00e8 ( è ), \u00e9 ( é ), \u00ea ( ê ), \u00f4 (ô) could not be displayed normally in command window.

German characters \u00e4 (ä), \u00fc (ü), could not be displayed normally in command window.

Spanish and Portuguese(Brazil) character display issue: some Spanish special characters display abnormally.

When using other JDKs, these characters display normally. The issue appears localized to the Oracle JDK as far as I can tell.

Using chcp to set the correct codepage and setting JVM_ARGS=-Duser.language=fr appear to have no effect, and still display characters incorrectly. The command prompt window can display the intended unicode characters via other methods, such as echo.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Unicode characters would display as normal for their respective languages.
ACTUAL -
Certain unicode characters do not display as intended, instead displaying as different or "garbage" characters.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
