I can't resolve the problem since I'm a beginner. I'd like to use UTF-8 charset. If I type the "aákú" (or any text with non english characters) the program will hangs up!

    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Please type any text:");
    String text = sc.nextLine();
    System.out.println("");
    System.out.println(text);

The InputSream class make some result like System.in...

If you can't for some reason use java.io.Console as suggested by Michael Borgwardt, you can use an InputStreamReader around System.in, since System.in is an InputStream. You tell the InputStreamReader what character set you're expecting to receive as part of construction, either via a Charset or a CharsetDecoder.

Using the java.io.Console class, just like any other character. The question is whether the console itself supports those "international characters", but that has nothing to do with Java.
