Comp Sci Using the German Laguage or ANY Foreign Language with Java

AI Thread Summary
To create a Java program that tests knowledge of the German language, handling special characters like umlauts and accents is essential. The solution involves using Unicode to represent these characters correctly in the code. For example, the code snippet System.out.println("die Stra\u00DFe"); effectively displays "die Straße." Utilizing Unicode allows for proper representation of foreign language characters without needing additional language handlers or special keyboards. This approach simplifies the process of incorporating foreign language support in Java applications.

Homework Statement


First of all this isn't for homework. I am trying to create a Java program that will test me on the German language for my German class; however, I do not know how to get the umlauts, accents, and other special characters to show up. Do I need to import a language handler, use a special key board, or something else? I am sure it is possible to do this in Java I just haven't been able to find out how anywhere.

Never mind I finally found out that unicode will take care of it for me.

System.out.println("die Stra\u00DFe"); = die Stra\sse
