@bouncingHippo Sorry but what exactly by the code itself means? Also, are all the steps using the same character set type? Can you provide evidence for the charsets used also so we can have more info? – Evandro Pomatti

To solve the problem of un-recognized characters being shown as boxes in your code file (.java files), change the preferences of your editor so that the default encoding is UTF-8. This should solve your issue.

In case you are using Eclipse IDE, you can try the below steps :

1) Navigate to Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Content Types

2) Set UTF-8 as the default encoding for all content types.

3) Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Workspaces

4) Set "Text file encoding" to "Other : UTF-8".
