I can´t seem to understand why so many people vote so bad for it and what I understand even less is that it has already 2 negative checks for objectives.
What´s up with that!?

Re: What´s so bad about my question (#21366)?
Because nobody has to know that the symbols that you are using in your question, are unicode characters.In case you want to test the use of unicode characters, you can try with several examples and not necessary have to use that one.
Re: What´s so bad about my question (#21366)?
I think this is something one should know and even if not, it takes half a minute at best to find out about it.And so you´ve learned something again.
Re: What´s so bad about my question (#21366)?
Apart from that: What´s the darn point of knowing that Java supports Unicode if you don´t even know what Unicode is ...Re: What´s so bad about my question (#21366)?
I could be probably wrong, but I tried to explain you whats up with your question.The votes are used for this purpose, to avoid that only one opinion send your question to the freeze zone or to the exam zone.
Re: What´s so bad about my question (#21366)?
FWIW, I think it's a good question which directly addresses the stated objectives for that section of the exam.However, the essence of JBB is that people can vote on questions and in that scenario, there's nothing "right" or "wrong" with a question, it's just whether voters like it or not. I might author a question which I think is the best ever asked about, say, generics. But if a bunch of people vote it 3 or less stars, I tend to take a look at the question in a new light.
All I'm trying to say is: that's the JBB process and it's nothing personal
Re: What´s so bad about my question (#21366)?
It's a guess ...Sure, Java does unicode and yes your question is relevant in this case. This would make it a good question _but_ .... i haven't got a clue what it says? Since the code is not readable (to me) it could go either way.
Since i'm unable to read the question i'm unable to answer the question which makes this question, in my humble opinion, a bad question.
