DataInputStream.readLine is capable of reading latin1-encoded text only. The characters you want are not in latin1 so the page must have some different encoding, such as UTF-8.

Assuming the page is encoded in UTF-8 you can read it if you substitute the part where you declare and initialize the variable in with the following:

 Reader in = null;
 try {
 in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(u.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));

If you don’t know the page encoding beforehand you may be able to use the URLConnection.getContentEncoding() method to find out. This method returns the encoding declared i the HTTP header Content-Type. If the content type does not have the encoding you just have to guess.
