I think I did.
If I didnt, wouldnt it fail under macos?

It works under macos, as I said.

Similarly, if I failed to set the encoding properly... wouldnt it just display gibberish chars?

Instead, its displaying the old empty square "no font mapping for this char" glyph.

Similarly.. when it attempts to display a char, it is displaying ONE empty-square.
If the encoding was not set, it would display two empty chars, since it's displaying a 2-byte "widechar"

Not to mention that the same program has worked under earlier versions of windows and jre.
(And by "same program", I mean *same* program)
