char encoding problem in android

Question

Hi,

While parsing I am getting some special character and I couldn't parse that character.

If I try the char 
 in java I can parse it. But in android I am not able to parse that char. In the simlator/device I am getting it as (box), In log i am getting like â¨.

Manually I have tried changing the encoding format in eclipse (Right click the project -> set the "text file encoding" as "UTF-8"), even though its not working.
