I think the problem is cmd.exe They display fine for me, when I run jconsole in my usual environment (windows 7, 64 bit, mintty cygwin window). But I get the same thing you get if I run jconsole in a cmd window. Also, that looks like a unicode character sequence, with each three octet character being displayed as three individual characters. http://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2010/06/06-07-10-unicode-cmd-code-page-checkup.html suggests that chcp 65001 will fix the problem, and this worked for me after I changed my cmd.exe font from raster fonts to lucidia console.
