Looking at your newspost in a mojibaked output:

 >      int K = 0, Κ = 0;

So the actual newsgroup text was transported without normalization. 
Running some tests, it appears that U+212A KELVIN SYMBOL gets normalized 
to the ASCII K under NFC (I thought it was NFKC), which means that 
either pasting from the clipboard to your IDE or your actual Java 
compiler is doing some NFC normalization. I suppose you could 
distinguish the two by seeing if the ASCII K can refer to a variable 
called \u212a (Unicode escapes are legal outside of strings in Java).

And now you learn a little about Unicode normalization. :-)
