Why regional language strings are not getting printed/displayed on the UI components in swing ?

XML

Swing

DOM

This is my xml file which contains Tamil language scripts.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ihelp>
    <home>வீடு</home>
    </ihelp>

I am using DOM parser to parse the xml file.

System.out.println(eElement.getElementsByTagName("home").item(0).getTextContent());

This prints the encoded value வீடு in the console.


But,

homeButton.setText(eElement.getElementsByTagName("home").item(0).getTextContent());

is not printing me the string வீடு on button.

I am using Eclipse and working on Java Swing.

EDIT:

I use radio buttons to choose language. When I choose between Regional Language options and the English language option I get the following Log in the console.

What I have tried:

Eclipse is printing the required string in its console. So there shouldn't be a problem with the IDE or the XML file.
What changes should I make so as to print the Tamil/Telugu/Kannada/Malayalam language strings on the UI components of Swing.
