I am trying to read from csv file. The file contains UTF-8 characters. So based on Parse CSV file containing a Unicode character using OpenCSV and How read Japanese fields from CSV file into java beans? I just wrote

CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("data.csv"), "UTF-8"), ';');

But it does not work. The >>Sí, es nuevo<< text is visible correctly in Notepad, Excel and various other text editing tools, but when I parse the file via opencsv I’m getting >>S�, es nuevo<< ( The í is a special character if you were wondering 😉

What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks aioobe. It turned out the file was not really UTF-8 despite most Win programs showing it as such. Notepad++ was the only one that did not show the file as UTF-8 encoded and after converting the data file the code works.
