unrecognized character in input stream

unrecognized character in input stream

I am not sure if this is a bug or just me not using the right
compilation flags.

Each time I try to compile a file with non ascii characters in comments, 
I get an error message similar to this one:


tournesol:~$ gcj --encoding=UTF-8 -c Test.java 
Test.java:3: unrecognized character in input stream.
      /** Hüffihütte */
                       ^
Test.java:4: unrecognized character in input stream.
   }
    ^
2 errors



Adding/removing --encoding=UTF-8 does not help.
This is with a recent gcj from CVS:

tournesol:~$ gcj -v

I attach a small Test.java example.

You're telling gcj that your input file is encoded using UTF-8.
However, that isn't the case.  It is encoded using ISO-8859-1.
Try using --encoding=ISO-8859-1.
