If I run this piece of code, '??' is printed instead.
Any idea what could go wrong?

You don't have the proper font installed on the displaying device (tty
or screen).

I have fonts installed. I can see the japanese character properly in
Eclipse editor, but I see '?' in Eclipse console output window and in
Eclipse debugger.

It works OK for me.

Do you get the same problem if you change the string assignment to
String str = "\u6642\u9593 = $B;~4V(B";

From the Eclipse menu bar, choose File, Properties and check the
encoding is set to UTF8

Google told me "The console's encoding can be changed on the common tab
of your launch configuration."

Thanks, it worked. After changing the file encoding and console's
encoding in debug settings, I am able to see proper characters during
debugging. But System.out.println is still showing '?'.
