Question marks (\uFFFD) means jvm can't encode characters.
This sometimes occur when fetching String/char from IO.
JVM sometimes recognize String/char as iso-8859-01 read from
InputStream, so you should re-encode it to other charset.
e.g.)
Suppose fetched String is "original", then
String encoded = new String(original.getBytes("iso-8859-01"),"UTF-8");
OR, wrap InputStream by InputStreamReader(in,"UTF-8")
If you can use JDK1.4, then you can use better solution using nio.
