OK, thanks for looking that up.
That indicates that Solaris is probably doing the right thing,
and libjava/gcj/convert/natIconv.cc should be fixed to handle the BOM.
Or, just use UCS-2BE on Solaris.
I'm not going to have time to put together a patch, unfortunately;
what I've got locally is the hideous:
#ifdef __sun__
 "UCS-2BE",
#else
 "UCS-2",
#endif
which does work.
Thanks,
