Hmmm... The strange thing is that on the same OS (Solaris), if I manually enter a Unicode character in a text file, I am being able to read it using editors like vi or cat
EG: bash-3.00$ echo -e "\340" > unicode.out ; cat unicode.out à bash-3.00$ Hence thought that it could be an issue with Apache POI or may be the java version of te operating system.
