Chinese characters are not printed when connecting to sql from java

I'm doing a function that all it does is print all the values of a field in a table, however I have Chinese letters saved in the database, and from sql server they look good, but when printed in java it shows only question marks, this is my function:

public void imprimir() {
    try {
        Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;databaseName=foo;characterEncoding=UTF‑8",
                "usuario", "password");
        Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
        ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM TABLA");

        while (resultSet.next())
            System.out.println(resultSet.getString("VALOR"));
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Connect.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Connect.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }

}
