    Its a text encoding proposal. The character set used on windows is Cp1252. You probably want UTF-8 or UTF-16 (the two most common internationalized character sets).

    You can use the String(byte[] bytes, String charsetName) constructor to convert from an array of bytes in Cp1252 to Java's native String format (UTF-16).
