Hello,
Thanks for responding.
I believe the file encoding is UTF-8: the dialog
Project Properties <name>/ sources
has a box labeled "encoding", and it is set to UTF-8.
I have added -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to netbeans.conf, and then, of course, I
restarted Netbeans
System.out.println("ī") produces a question mark as the output. Same for ā
A StackOverflow source said that the Program Properties/General page includes
an "encoding" entry. There is no such entry in my installation (Netbeans 16 on
WIndows 10). The only mention of "encoding" in Project Properties is under
"sources". I can find no mention of it in Tools/options, either in "editor",
"fonts & colors", or anywhere else.

Hi Chris,
A quick question:
1. Is your file encoding UTF-8?
At least for NetBeans 15, the configuration file is located in wherever
you installed NetBeans\etc. It's called netbeans.conf.
In my netbeans.conf, I've added -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to
netbeans_default_options.
I haven't tried this with NetBeans 16 yet (upgrade today most likely),
but several people at $work have used prior versions of NetBeans and
have added characters with diacritics.
Using the Character Map and copying the result into a text file worked
on NetBeans 15. An acute accent e showed up in a text file, was saved,
opened, and the diacritic was displayed properly.
The character showed up properly in other UTF-8 aware editors.
. . . just my two cents
