Derby supports Unicode for CHAR,VARCHAR,CLOB etc. Data is stored in UTF-8 on
disk, and transferred between network client and server in UTF-8.

Currently you can't choose other encodings.

But as seen from your application, Java is Unicode and Derby is Unicode so any
Unicode character may be stored in the database, regardless of the encoding.

Note: Wrt db path names there is a bug:
