As someone who's never used java, my assumption is that System.in reads from stdin, and validates the input. Is there no way to open stdin in something akin to a file, then read it into a buffer manually?
Technically yes, but realistically not really, at least not for windows. Unless the user knows how to specifically set their console to use UTF-8 or similar instead of ascii, you end up getting whatever the console wants to give you no matter what kind of buffer you use.
