Hi there,

I created a Groovy script with the following content:

def s = "äöü" // three German umlaut characters println s.size()

The script is saved as UTF-8.

If I run it on Linux, it correctly prints "3", but on Windows it prints "6", interpreting each double-byte UTF-8 character as two distinct characters.

I tried to play with the -c / --encoding command line parameters, but got error messages like the following:

$ groovy -c utf-8 test.groovy Caught: BUG! exception in phase 'parsing' in source unit 'test.groovy' charsetName

Any clues what's going on?
