    I am storing a string in a HashMap.(i.e. it is the value in a
    key/value pair where the key is some other string). On one jvm version
    (1.4.1_01 on windows) I get the string back fine. On another(1.4.2 on
    solaris) I get this weird character that is printed to the terminal as
        ?1.00
    The real value of the String is "--". Some of the other String values
    in the HashMap are of the form X.XX where X is a digit, though which
    makes things even stranger.
    Anyone have any idea what this odd character is and what is making it
    some up? I kept trying to google for this but no search results are of
    any relevance.
    I have tried different compilers(i.e javac vs jikes which I usually
    use) but that hasnt(nor should it) make a difference.
    Help!!
