showing special character in String in android

Question

I am hitting server and getting some data in string format.

in this data there are some special character like - ' . but when i set that string in textview these special character convert into ? .

So how can i avoid this issue ? please help.

first try :

  String t = "<![CDATA["+title+"]]>";
        mTitle.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));

second try :

 String base64 = Base64.encodeToString(getTitle().getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT);
        byte[] data = Base64.decode(base64, Base64.DEFAULT);
        String text = new String(data, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        mTitle.setText(text);

Does the data returned from the server contain HTML-encoded characters? — degs, Jan 27 '17 at 08:44

Try this:

tv.setText(news_item.getTitle().replaceAll("\u2019", "'"));

Refer this link for unicode encoding.
