Displaying Japanese characters

[Koji]

I'm attempting to write a program that quizzes the user on hiragana and katakana. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to write the code so System.out.prin tln or JOptionPane.sho wMessageDialog will actually display the characters. I thought it might use Unicode, but if it does, I attempted it incorrectly.

Any assistance would be helpful! Thanks!

maybe this might help

Remember that the font must allow it, Arial Unicode MS etc

Yeah. Not only is that rather outdated, but I also don't understand much of it. Heh.

Ok, just so anyone else knows who ever finds this, you display Japanese characters using unicode by using the unicode number as a String like so:

String a = "\u304F"

That's く or "ku"

I'm glad that anyone who reads this will now know what I had to look around for a week to find out. :D
