            interp.exec("print('中文')");

        }
    }
}

this program will output

How can I get correct Chinese character display

Unfortunately your example correctly prints 中文 on my computer so I think the problem may be specific to your environment. For reference I am running Ubuntu 22.04, OpenJDK 11, Python 3.10.12 with Jep 4.2(pre-release). I also tried it on a docker container with python:3.12 with openJDK 17 and it worked correctly there also. I suspect this problem may be specific to windows and I am not familiar with locale settings in windows so I cannot be sure.

The only jep specific code here is Interpreter.exec() which is converting the Java String with print('中文') into a utf-8 encoded char* and passing it to Python. It seems to me the problem may be either

1. Python is not properly interpreting the char*
2. print is encoding it wrong
3. Your console is having trouble displaying it correctly.

You might try print(len('中文')). On my system that results in 2 which indicates it correctly understands it is only 2 characters even though it takes more than 2 bytes. That rules out item 1 because if python was not reading the code correctly I would expect that to be 4.

I have try my code on a docker container with python:3.7 with openJDK 1.8 and it worked correctly. It might be an problem with my Windows environment.
