Our XML feed gives us encoded UTF-8 characters inside ISO-8859-1 a file. This is being fed into the database. So the text is ISO-8859-1 encoded and contains following stuff:
金融市场
Is there a way to convert that into a normal Java string? Similar to:
String str = fromHtmlUtf8("金融市场");
Where resulting str will contain normal UTF8 chars. Chinese in this case, but can be quite mixed.
Thanks.
You can use the StringEscapeUtils from Apache Commons:
