Hi, I have a problem with the Netbeans output console. The problem is that it doesn't show the "ñ" character correctly, it shows me a strange symbol instead.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Apache NetBeans 23 on Windows with a Java Maven project, using System.out.println("Niño") in the output console. Then trace the output-console path to identify the affected component; done means the ñ is displayed correctly on Windows while Ubuntu behavior remains intact.
