Thanks for the input Nick. But one thing is still not clear, can I
encode the text as UTF_8?
No. You need to ensure that by the time you pass the string to POI, it's a
valid java (unicode) string, and you've done any utf8 decoding as required
when reading the string in. When getting data out of poi, it'll come out
as a java unicode string. It's up to you to turn that into utf8 if that's
what you want to output. I'd suggest you go read a tutorial on working
with unicode and native character sets in java to clear up your
confusions.
