When I look at this in Emacs I see that that particular byte has a
value of 172. It is displayed to me as a mathematical "not" sign.
I'm guessing that jikes is assuming one particular character encoding
for the input file (probably UTF-8), while Character.java is actually
written in Latin-1.
So telling jikes about the actual encoding would probably work.
Another approach would be to rewrite this line to be ASCII. That is
probably best. Are there other such characters in this file?
