Java can't handle π character

Reduced version of my current problem: I'm trying to print the character π in java, but when I do:

System.out.println("π");

All I get in the console is a question mark. I don't know why this happens and I haven't been able to fix it, hopefully someone will know how to. Thanks

Make sure that your source code is writen in UTF-8.

You can also use a UNICODE constant directly, like this:

System.out.println("\u03C0");

You could use the escape character \u03C0. This stackoverflow post is the same question.
