String from Db using utf-8

[Skondras P.]

Hi
i want to put some greek chars in an xls file and works ok if i put them
with encoding UTF_16 in the java code.
But there is always a but
When i read the string from the database which is utf-8 and try to put
it in the xls file
i get non-readable chars.
I try also the compressed_unicode no luck
the code is like this
                cell1 = row1.createCell((short)5);
                String dest=t1.getDestCategory() // String from the
database

cell.setEncoding(org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell.ENCODING_UTF_16);

                cell1.setCellValue(t1.getDestCategory());

Any ideas suggestions
