I searched into other stack before to type here and I didn't find anythong similar. I have to scrape different utf-8 webpages which contain text like

"Oggi è una bellissima giornata"

the problem is on the characther "è"

I extract this text with jtidy and xpath query expression and I convert it with

byte[] content = filteredEncodedString.getBytes("utf-8");
String result = new String(content,"utf-8");

where filteredEncodedString contains the text "Oggi è una bellissima giornata". This procedures works on the most webpages analyzed so far but in some case it doesn't extract a utf-8 string. Page encoding is always the same as the text is similar.

Any ideas about the problem? thanks
