I looked at this issue a bit more. It looks to me that the issue is caused by the fact that the encoding of `System.out` falls back to the default encoding, as `IBM864` is not in `java.base`. This issue seems not new and reproducible with the releases since JDK9 where modularization has been introduced. Also, I think other encodings than those `IBM*` listed here, can possibly cause this issue. In order to fix this completely, those obscure encodings also have to be in `java.base` which I don't think we would want to do.
