        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in, "utf-8");

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied App program in VS Code 1.72.0 on Windows and compare the terminal and DEBUG CONSOLE behavior with IntelliJ IDEA. Investigate the Java extension's handling of non-ASCII input and output, using the DEBUG CONSOLE as the named entry point. Done means Greek characters typed into the program are returned and displayed correctly.
