Answer 1

Your code looks ok.. the problem here it will be that in server the data will not be in UTF-8 format..

Answer 2

The problem might be that your console or your System.out are not UTF-8.

• Try writing this to a file instead
• Set the console stream via System.setOut(..)

You may have to use -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 or OutputStreamWriter
