It seems that the test program is not using \uXXXX unicode escapes but has the characters in some encoding that needs to be expected by javac.
So the first image is from a javac that was using default (eg US) locale and the latter was using a locale that can correctly interpret those.

I don't know why the two are different for you - probably it is a shell environment difference - but I recommend you always use \uXXXX in tests to avoid exactly this issue.

Now looking at the 2nd image it shows that there are differences (although again it would be nice if each line were labelled - eg "Dialog Bold Italic : " ...) and so something is not working as intended.

I don't know what the problem is, so it will require some extensive debugging.
