Question

I have one database with encoding of Windows Baltic(windows-1257). I copy the data to other database with encoding UTF-8 Lithuanian (using sql language). After copying data, I still don’t get UTF-8 values – “Nerûdijantis plienas” and I need “Nerūdijantis plienas”. And I made little Java application, witch should take data from UTF-8 db with data copied from Latin db and System.out.println(..). But now since data is still wrong after copying i get wrong encoding printed out. What should I do? Should i copy data with some kind of encoding sentences or should i use Java to change encoding during printing out?

EDIT:I need something like iconv in PHP, it works when I use it to convert data.

I flagged this thread as needed to move to different forum, but since nothing was made, I got it working here.
