well actually I think it is an oversight from the developers thinking
they can cast all web pages as ASCII ones.
.
Something that I found a little bit odd is that when I tried to view
say CHinese pages using JBrowser (www.bysoft.se/sureshot/jbrowser/)
which content type were tagged as:
.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
.
you could see chinese characters showing on the window bar of the
java/Swing WIndow (the exact same ones showing on Firefox and on the
"title" tag in the source), but the java app is not displaying actual
chinese chars

I think the String class' UTF-8 based ctor should be used and probably
the JTextPanes need some extra UTF-8 tweaking
.

FWIW, I've written a Java application that can display Chinese
characters just fine (it's actually a flashcard-like tool for learning
Japanese), and I didn't have to do anything special. Java supports Unicode
(the basic multilingual plane part of it, anyway, which include
Chinese/Japanese/Korean) by design.
