How to decode text

Question

I receive back from a webservice a string in Json like this:

conversione da voce a testo questa Ã¨ una prova di compressione

the "Ã¨" must be "è" in Italian.

How to decode to right text in Java?

this is clearly wrongly decoded utf-8 string, you have bad encoding somewhere in the process. — jJ', May 10 '12 at 18:54

my solution was it: request.setHeader("Accept-Charset", "iso-8859-1, unicode-1-1;q=0.8"); – Giuseppe May 11 '12 at 04:53
