I need the OutputStreamWriter to specify the encoding, however that doesn't seem to work... What is the type of result? How did you put content in it? > The result is a CSV file, I just loop over some DB records and build a string, then I write the string to the writer... > You are not checking the returnvalue of your write statement. the Writer.write(..) method does not return anything... it's void...! Please explain exactly what is wrong with it. I thought I did, but anyway, I'll do it again: Very simplistic explained: so in the application text (that the user enters) is stored in a DB, I read the contents of the DB and construct a string. Then I write the string in the writer (to the file)! So when I do so for Dutch, German, English, Frensh,... (all western languages) it works. However users started reporting that when inputting Chinese or Hebrew characters the application works just fine but for the export the content of the CSV file is unreadable. You can open the CSV file in a text-editor or a spreadsheet editor but the characters that should be Chinese or Hebrew are just unreadable characters. So instead of seeing something like this: 這是一個測試 I see something like this: â €å”€å”€å”€à €à €à €ç¼€ç¼€ç¼€ç¼€ç¼€ç¼€ç¼€Ì€Ì€Ì€Ì€Ì€Ì€ So it's a matter of encoding that is not correct. But I am encoding in UTF-8 so I don't see the issue...
