Hi, Jeff,

Thanks a lot for handling this. I really appreciate it.

One thing I noticed from the console output:

>>> s = "使用"
>>> s
'\xca\xb9\xd3\xc3'

This is different from Jython 2.2.1. We should expect the same characters returned when printing s, like we have in Jython 2.2.1:

>>> aa="操作"  <-- Multi-byte characters are displayed correctly
>>> print aa
操作

Could you please see if this is still an issue? Appreciate your comments.

Thanks,
Rose
