A Java String is internally always encoded in UTF-16 - but you really should think about it like this  an encoding is a way to translate between Strings and bytes   So if you have an encoding problem  by the time you have String  it s too late to fix  You need to fix the place where you create that String from a file  DB or network connection

In a moment I went through this problem and managed to solve it in the following way  first i need to import   import java nio charset Charset    Then i had to declare a constant to use UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1  private static final Charset UTF 8   Charset forName  UTF-8    private static final Charset ISO   Charset forName  ISO-8859-1      Then I could use it in the following way   String textwithaccent  Th  s   s a text with accent   String textwithletter    and      text1   new String textwithaccent getBytes ISO   UTF 8   text2   new String textwithletter getBytes ISO  UTF 8

String objects in Java use the UTF-16 encoding that can t be modified   The only thing that can have a different encoding is a byte    So if you need UTF-8 data  then you need a byte    If you have a String that contains unexpected data  then the problem is at some earlier place that incorrectly converted some binary data to a String  i e  it was using the wrong encoding

Use byte   ptext   String getBytes  UTF-8    instead of getBytes    getBytes   uses so-called  default encoding   which may not be UTF-8

In Java7 you can use   import static java nio charset StandardCharsets     byte   ptext   myString getBytes ISO 8859 1    String value   new String ptext  UTF 8      This has the advantage over getBytes String  that it does not declare throws UnsupportedEncodingException   If you re using an older Java version you can declare the charset constants yourself   import java nio charset Charset   public class StandardCharsets       public static final Charset ISO 8859 1   Charset forName  ISO-8859-1        public static final Charset UTF 8   Charset forName  UTF-8
