Question

I am reading an XML document (UTF-8) and ultimately displaying the content on a Web page using ISO-8859-1. As expected, there are a few characters are not displayed correctl

Answer 1

when you instanciate your String object, you need to indicate which encoding to use.

So replace :

return new String(latin1);

by

return new String(latin1, "ISO-8859-1");
