UTF-16 encoding

[Saigal, Ankur]

Hi All,

Problem:
 Some junk characters are written out after transformation while using
UTF-16 encoding.

Description :
I get the "Transformer" object from the TransformerFactory and then set the
output property ("encoding") as "UTF-16".

                transformer.setOutputProperty("encoding","UTF-16")

After this the result which I get carries 2 junk charcters ("��<") before
the actual expected stuff.



Can someone suggest me a solution for this problem?

Thanks and Regards,
Ankur

PS : The incoming document is normal UTF-8 encoded.Can this be an issue ??
