> Tested this manually by installing Chinese language pack on English Windows 11, selecting Chinese language, then checking if the message on exception thrown by `InetAddress.getByName("nonexistent.local");` starts with `"不知道这样的主机。"` (or `"\u4e0d\u77e5\u9053\u8fd9\u6837\u7684\u4e3b\u673a\u3002"`). Without the change, the exception message started with a row of question marks.
