What do you mean by "write it to a db"? If you take the file as a byte
sequence, without processing by a Reader/Writer, its encoding will be
unchanged. The FileReader/FileWriter use the locale's encoding, i.e.
ISO-8859-1 in your case.

The Sun JDK 1.3 on Linux, in locale de_DE, knows that the locale
encoding is ISO-8859-1. Even with glibc-2.1.x. I verified that.
