Jython 2.5.x breaks earlier behavior of printing UTF-8 characters from Java into Python using org.python.util.PythonInterpreter 
2.2rc3 works fine. Sample Program attached. (Will attach sample outputs using 2.2 and 2.5.3 after submission).
This is a regression, seems important.

Screenshot of Java code opened in Eclipse as UTF-8 file. This is so that you can easily see the input and compare to output.

Does the same happen if you use unicode sequences in place of UTF-8? Java's source encoding is not explicitly defined, so unicode sequences should be used if non-ASCII characters are needed in literals.

Sorry for the delayed reply, my project specifies UTF-8 encoding as the source code encoding. I haven't tried Unicode Sequences, will do when I get the opportunity. 
Thanks for looking into this.

I don't think executing this statement:

interp.exec("# coding=utf-8") 

is going to do anything, certainly not for subsequent code. In general PythonInterpreter works with unicode; you can control the encoding of the underlying stdin/stdout/stderr by setting accordingly with setEncoding.

The only reason this was working in 2.2 is because all strings were unicode strings back then. So, we should close this as invalid, yes?

Makes sense to me. Let's close out.
