Even assuming the ‹ character is just MS Outlook autocorrecting -- to
some other character, that command-line won't work.

Read the output:

You are not using either of those forms, you need to specify a class
(in the first form) or use -jar and specify a jar file (in the second
form.)

If you use on of those forms to run a program then you can use the
--ms option to set its heap size, but you're not actually running a
program, so there's nothing to set the heap size for.
