French diacritical marks

[adamskim]

Hi.

I have a problem which I can't solve it myself.
I want to read a text file which contain a french diacritical marks,
like:


/ \ ^
a a a

and print it on System.out

Unfortunately instead of first mark ('a' with accent) I get "?". Two
others are printed good.
I hope that you understand me. My English isn't very good, but I can't
find solution on polish site.

Umm... I just wonder which french word contains the first 'a' with
accent that you list.

No, I think it's the *second* one that goes wrong, because it's in
ISO-8859-1 but not in ISO-8859-2 which is probably your platform
default encoding, judging from your .pl email address.

Two
others are printed good.

1. find out which character encoding is used in the file - probably ISO-8859-1
2. find out which character encoding is used by your console - probably ISO-8859-2
3. If the console encoding or font doesn't support the character, change it.
4. If both encodings are the same, just write the file's *bytes*
to System.out and don't mess with chars and Strings at all.
5. If not, specify the file encoding while reading it and then print to System.out

Par exemple: âge. ;-)
