Incorrect console encoding under Windows 11 [message #1853044]

Hello,

when using JDK-18 from Oracle with "Text file encoding" set to default (UTF-8) the following code

import java.nio.charset.*;

public class ABC {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println(Charset.defaultCharset());
		System.out.println(System.console());
		System.out.println(System.out.charset());
		System.out.println("äöüß€");
	}
}

generates the following output

UTF-8
null
windows-1252
��߀

which is clearly incorrect. The documentation of System.out specifies

Quote:

The encoding used in the conversion from characters to bytes is equivalent to Console.charset() if the Console exists, Charset.defaultCharset() otherwise.

but as the example shows the default character set is not used for console encoding.

Is this a bug? If so, is there a work-around?
