Can compiled java with simplified chinese embedded?

[Wandy Tang]

Dear All,

I am making a servlet that will display simplified chinese character, the
character seems normal during open with notepad but when compling, it has
error message says

"gb.java:1: illegal character: \65279"
import java.io.*; // it should says import java.io.*

I use "javac.exe -encoding UTF-8 gb.java" command for compling.

The servlet has saved as a UTF-8 format file.

Regards
Wandy

BOM mark, remove it. See a similar discussion from a few days ago:

Character 65279 (FEFF in hex) is a byte order mark, apparently inserted
by your editor. For UTF-8, this serves no purpose, and it seems the Java
compiler disallows it completely (as byte order marks are generally not
used in Java).

Look through the configuration options of your editor to see whether it
can be made not to write the byte order mark, otherwise look for a different
editor.

Wandy,

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have one of my own.
Why do you need to store the source code as UTF-8? You can use
encoding/decoding on input/ output as required. I've played around
with displaying Japanese in Java and have never had to worry about the
source code encoding.
