replace special characters in string in java

Question

I want to know how to replace the string in Java.

E.g.

String a = \"adf�sdf\";

How can I replace and avoid special characters?

Answer 1

You can use unicode escape sequences (such as \u201c [an opening curly quote]) to "avoid" characters that can't be directly used in your source file encoding (which defaults to the default encoding for your your platform, but you can change it with the -encoding parameter to javac).
