My android application was displaying unicode chars properly till android 4.1 . But now on Android 4.2 jelly bean, unicode chars are not getting displayed. I used the following settings as suggested by various forums :

web.getSettings().setDefaultTextEncodingName("utf-8");
web.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, htmlData, "text/html", "utf-8", null);

Also my htmlData variable has the meta content-type setting as urf-8

<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />

I don't know where I am making a mistake. Its working fine on all versions prior to 4.2 Please help.

Both methods that you are using are right,

Android WebView UTF-8 not showing

but probably you are facing a bug.

I can confirm that this issue is resolved now with the latest update to 4.2.2

Update:

If you believe a new bug is found. Android Open Source Project - Issue Tracker https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
