I'm voting to reopen this since it is marked as a duplicate of question that uses explicit charset, while accepted answer here suggests the problem was in not specifying the charset. Also, this Q was now used as a dup target. — Jiri Tousek, Nov 16 '16 at 14:15

Try with the following:

File file = new File("C://fichero.csv");

BufferedReader bufRdr  = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file),"ISO-8859-1"));
String line = null;

line = bufRdr.readLine();

Why not use **UTF-8**? – IgorGanapolsky Nov 03 '17 at 18:51

because UTF-8 does not include all characters. e.g German Umlauts. – orange14 May 16 '18 at 10:06
