Parsing Japanese characters in excel using POI

[Sunetra Deshpande]

I am using POI to parse excel files that contain English as well as Japanese
characters. However in the place of the japanese characters i see  a series
of ??? when i print the contents of the file to the browser using JSP. I am
using UTF-8 to read the strings in. Does Excel use UTF-16? How do i get the
japanese characters to print correctly? I am seeing no issues with special
german characters.

Thanks,
