[Java] Chaacter Encoding conflict with command prompt

[ReadMe.txt]

I am attempting to display the £ sign, character 0163 in unicode, via System.out.print to the console in windows 2k, however i am greeted by the character ú whenever i try.

I can only deduce that there is some sort of character encoding conflict - but I am fairly new to java and have no idea how to rectify the problem, can anyone shed some light on it?

System.out.println("£"); ? :p

I guess you're doing something else but aren't there usually different character encoding formats, ASCII being the most popular? I've no experience with it personally

So the point of your post was....?

Both "£" and "\u00A3" produce the ú character, i need some way to encode the string into ISO-8859-15 before output.

The console uses pure ASCII, so I think a good idea would be to consult an ASCII reference rather than use Unicode.

Edit:
ASCII character set (from QBasic):

To tell you that it's probably the ASCII character set you're looking for :)
