reading text file with utf-8 encoding using java

Use

    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;     
    public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args){

    try {
        File fileDir = new File("PATH_TO_FILE");

        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
           new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileDir), "UTF-8"));

        String str;

        while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(str);
        }

                in.close();
        } 
        catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) 
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        } 
        catch (IOException e) 
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

You need to put UTF-8 in quotes
