Oops! Looks like there is problem with attachment (might be because I attached .class file as well). I'm pasting the fix and test program here in mail.

As part of that, charsets for locales Ja_JP (IBM-943) and Zh_TW (big5) also have been moved. However, corresponding charsets mapped in Java is not correct for them on AIX. Following are the details: 1. IBM-943 [1] for locale Ja_JP should be mapped to IBM-943C [2] Fundamental difference between IBM-943 and IBM-943C is that IBM-943C is ASCII compatible which means code points 'yen' and 'overline' of IBM-943 is replaced with 'backslash' and 'tilde' from ASCII character set. 2. Big5 for locale Zh_TW should be mapped to IBM-950 [3] I've attached simple test program to print the default charset along with fix for this issue. When run test program (PrintDefaultCharset) with IBM JDK 8 (on AIX) for locales Ja_JP & Zh_TW, following is output. -bash-4.4$ LANG=Ja_JP ~/JDKs/IBM/80/ON/sdk/jre/bin/java PrintDefaultCharset LANG = Ja_JP Default charset = x-IBM943C file.encoding = IBM-943C sun.jnu.encoding = IBM-943C -bash-4.4$ LANG=Zh_TW ~/JDKs/IBM/80/ON/sdk/jre/bin/java PrintDefaultCharset LANG = Zh_TW Default charset = x-IBM950 file.encoding = IBM-950 sun.jnu.encoding = IBM-950 Same test run with openJDK 11 gives following output -bash-4.4$ LANG=Ja_JP ~/jdk/bin/java PrintDefaultCharset LANG = Ja_JP Default charset = x-IBM943 file.encoding = IBM-943 sun.jnu.encoding = IBM-943 -bash-4.4$ LANG=Zh_TW ~/jdk/bin/java PrintDefaultCharset LANG = Zh_TW Default charset = Big5 file.encoding = big5 sun.jnu.encoding = big5 I will get webrev hosted in https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cr.openjdk.java.net&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=KUVGEwJiRVpNtQ9wUhGP6BKqzSTV1OWX31WWPdQMmqg&m=Prdd2GWj8c4aCa1qPr65xklNyDyu64w_6X7qkNaI-D8&s=8C1bILMg6JLJtbL0KLRPfU0MkIPkAmq_IlJgdTfpjdI&e= for this change and send it for review once JIRA bug is created.
