I don't have any specific knowledge about the use of Chinese characters
in Java, but this sounds like a case of a fairly common, more general
problem.

The initial conditions under which a 'cron' job is executed are
typically _not_ the same as those initially set up for an interactive
shell. In particular, start-up scripts may not be executed, and
environment variables may not be set, or set differently (especially
PATH).

Perhaps running through crontab is not giving you a setting that is
needed to map the Chinese characters correctly.
