Accessing Unicode telugu text from Ms-Access Database in Java

Question

I have an MS-Access database ( A English-telugu Dictionary database) which contains a table storing English words and telugu meanings.

I am writing a dictionary program in Java which queries the database for a keyword entered by the user and display the telugu meaning.

My Program is working fine till I get the data from the database, but when I displayed it on some component like JTextArea/JEditorPane/ etc... the telugu text is being displayed as '????'. Why is it happening?.

I have seen the solution for "1467412/reading-unicode-data-from-an-access-database-using-jdbc" which provides some workaround for Hebrew language. But it is not working for telugu. i.e I included setCharset("UTF8")before querying from the database. but still I am getting all '?'s.

As soon as I got data from Resultset I am checking the individual characters, all the telugu characters are being encoded by 63 only. This is my observation. I guess this must be some type of encoding problem. I would be very glad if somebody provides some solution for this. Thanks in advance.
