Clojure failing to print non-ASCII chars on OS X

Question

I've installed Clojure 1.2.0 using Homebrew package management system on Mac OS X 10.6.4. Running:

$ clj -e '(println "русский язык\n")'

in the Terminal results in:

??????? ????

While running in the same terminal:

$ php -r 'echo "русский язык\n";'

displays the Cyrillic text correctly.

The same effect when running $ clj <some .clj file in UTF-8 encoding>

Is that a known issue? Java Runtime-related? I thought at this point languages finally get Unicode right.

the default java file.endcoding on osx is Mac Roman, you need to -D set it to utf8
