    public static void main(String args[]) {
        String s = "\u6210\u4EA4\u91CF";
        // print ???
        System.out.println(s);
        // fine! show ???
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, s);
        toXML(s, "C:\\A.XML");
        String o = fromXML(String.class, "C:\\A.XML");
        // show ???
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, o);
    }
}

I run the following code through command prompt in Windows Vista.

1) May I know why System.out.println unable to print out Chinese Character in console?

2) I open up the xstream file. The saved value is

<string>???</string>

How can I make xstream save Chinese Character correctly?

Thanks.
