Why is conversion from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 not the same in Windows and Linux?
- by user1895307
I have the following in code to convert from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 in a jar file and when I execute this jar in Windows I get one result and in CentOS I get another. Might anyone know why?
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String x = "Ä, ä, É, é, Ö, ö, Ü, ü, ß, «, »";
Charset utf8charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
Charset iso88591charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
ByteBuffer inputBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(x.getBytes());
CharBuffer data = utf8charset.decode(inputBuffer);
ByteBuffer outputBuffer = iso88591charset.encode(data);
byte[] outputData = outputBuffer.array();
String z = new String(outputData);
System.out.println(z);
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
In Windows, java -jar test.jar test.txt creates a file containing:
Ä, ä, É, é, Ö, ö, Ü, ü, ß, «, »
but in CentOS I get:
??, ä, ??, é, ??, ö, ??, ü, ??, «, »
Help please!
