unrecognized character in input stream

Thu Jun 13 06:40:00 GMT 2002

I am not sure if this is a bug or just me not using the right
compilation flags.
Each time I try to compile a file with non ascii characters in comments, 
I get an error message similar to this one:
tournesol:~$ gcj --encoding=UTF-8 -c Test.java 
Test.java:3: unrecognized character in input stream.
 /** HÃ¼ffihÃ¼tte */
 ^
Test.java:4: unrecognized character in input stream.
 }
 ^
2 errors
Adding/removing --encoding=UTF-8 does not help.
This is with a recent gcj from CVS:
tournesol:~$ gcj -v
