      Description

        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        jdk9 ea b 136

        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
        Win 7 64 bit

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        Try to enter a string with German umlauts at the jshell command prompt

        "opü" will be "op?"
        "üöä" will be "???"

        jshell cannot handle these characters. Maybe this problem affects all non-ascii characters?

        Using Linux I can not double-check this problem, because my terminal window cannot handle the umlauts too. A windows shell displays the German umlauts correctly,but the jshell started from there does not.

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        see description

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        shell handles all non-ascii charecters correctly
        ACTUAL -
        jshell replaced German umlaut (maybe all non-ascii characters?) by a question mark

        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.
