`java.io.Console` uses the charset specified by the `stdout.encoding` system property for both input and output. While this is generally sufficient, since Console is intended for interactive terminal use, some platforms allow different encodings to be configured for input and output. In such cases, using a single encoding may lead to incorrect behavior when reading from the terminal. To address this, the newly introduced system property, `stdin.encoding`, should be used specifically for input where appropriate.
