Question

Currently I am reading .txt files with

    FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(masterPath+txt);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

    String readLine = null;

        while ((readLine = br.readLine()) != null) 
        {
        ...

But unicode characters do not appear as they should.

Any ideas how to change the above code, for unicode to work?

Thanks!

Yes. Specify the appropriate encoding when constructing your InputStreamReader. If your file is UTF-8 encoded, use

new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"));
