Well, this one has been open for a while. It's also in the github tracker,
https://github.com/tada/pljava/issues/21 which I've just updated with
confirming test code.

I think vatsan's comment (on the github issue) about
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=5030776 is probably spot on.
We seem to handle the whole basic multilingual plane correctly
(nearly 64k codepoints), it's just all the planes above that getting
messed up.

Should be a straightforward fix, once I've found how many places those
not-really-UTF JNI functions are really used in the code.
