Is that Java program doing anything else to the data? If you're just
using Java to transcode Tcl strings, you're really hurting yourself for
no reason:
set big5string [encoding convertto big5 $gb2312string]
set gb2312string [encoding convertto gb2312 $big5string]
Tcl's encoding support is probably one of its strenghts as a scripting
language.

I don't think you can tell [exec] what encoding the I/O will be.
Perhaps you could/should see if there's a TIP for [exec -encoding $name
$command] already ...
