    JTextArea only support Java char, which uses UTF-16BE encoding. If you have some byte-stream in CP037, you need to convert it to String or Char array first.

    For example, if you have characters in Cp037 as a byte array, you should do this,

      String text = new String(bytes, "Cp037");

    You may need to install extra charset support for certain JREs.
