Regarding word search error (Encoding error Java)

Question

I have a list of french words where I am trying to search in my database. The words are "thé Mariage frères", "thé Lipton" etc. While I am reading my file in java, it shows the words as "thÃ© Lipton", "thÃ© Mariage frÃ¨res". It fails to get the correct words. I don't know how to correct my errors.

Help me, please!!!

Did you try anything? If yes then add your code to the question. — Ravikumar, Oct 19 '16 at 09:20
Check the database encoding, connection encoding, editor encoding, JSP and HTML encoding... it must be the same: UTF-8 — Sefran2, Oct 19 '16 at 09:21
@Ravikumar No, I didn't face this error earlier, So I don't have any clue to solve... — prabhu, Oct 19 '16 at 09:24
@Ravikumar Scanner s = new Scanner(new File("French_Tea_keywords/filter_keywords.txt")); ArrayList brand_Name = new ArrayList(); while (s.hasNext()){ String token = s.nextLine(); brand_Name.add(token); } String[] stringArr = brand_Name.toArray(new String[0]); s.close(); — prabhu, Oct 19 '16 at 09:26
@prabhu Try creating Scanner object like this `Scanner s = new Scanner(new File("French_Tea_keywords/filter_keywords.txt"), "UTF8"); ` — Ravikumar, Oct 19 '16 at 09:32

You file is in one encoding (maybe latin1/iso-8859-1) and you're reading your file in another encoding.

See if this port helps How to read a file in Java with specific character encoding?

Try this.

    try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("input.txt");
        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fis, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(isr)) {
        String line;
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
            System.out.println(line);
    }

Try creating Scanner object like this

Scanner s = new Scanner(new File("French_Tea_keywords/filter_keywords.txt"), "UTF8");
