I'm working on a simple Java cypher program. That's why there are strange characters.

I'm attempting to run this command in my Linux Terminal:

user@Ubuntu> java code d ÖÝßÛ³eb©«åãá⡧ÌÚب¬Ý¢¤¤°kkicÒÒ××⥡ÏÛÛÐë`§ÞØÝßòÓ key

With this being said, When I press enter this happens: 

user@Ubuntu> java code d ÖÝßÛ³eb©«åãá⡧ÌÚب¬Ý¢¤¤°kkicÒÒ××⥡ÏÛÛÐë`§ÞØÝßòÓ key > > > >

A New line appears each time I press enter. How can I just run the command?

This happens because your argument contain a backtick (`), which is a special shell character. Try putting your special characters in strong quotes:

user@Ubuntu> java code d 'ÖÝßÛ³eb©«åãá⡧ÌÚب¬Ý¢¤¤°kkicÒÒ××⥡ÏÛÛÐë`§ÞØÝßòÓ' key

Single quotes (', distinct from `) prevents the shell from trying to interpret your argument.
