Unable to print russian characters
I have a russian string which i have encoded to UTF-8 String str = "\u041E\u041A"; System.out.println("String str : " + str); When i print the string in eclipse console i get ?? Can anyone suggest how to print the russian strings to console or what i am doing wrong here? I have tried converting it to bytes using byte myArr[] = str.getBytes("UTF-8") and then new String(myArr, "UTF-8") still same problem :-( Try this: String myString = "some cyrillic text"; byte bytes[] = myString.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"); String value = new String(bytes, "UTF-8"); Or this: String myString = "some cyrillic text";
