How to use UTF-8 in resource properties with ResourceBundle

Question

I need to use UTF-8 in my resource properties using Java\'s ResourceBundle. When I enter the text directly into the properties file, it displays as mojibake.

Answer 1

Given that you have an instance of ResourceBundle and you can get String by:

String val = bundle.getString(key); 

I solved my Japanese display problem by:

return new String(val.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
