I write that variable to a file and set the encoding to UTF-8 when writing the contents of the string variable to the file on the filesystem. I open up that file and everything looks great e.g. shows up as a right arrow. However, if the same String (containing ...

The obvious answer is to use Charset.defaultCharset() but we recently found out that this might not be the right answer. I was told that the result is different from real default charset used by java.io classes in several occasions. Looks like Java keeps 2 sets of default charset. Does anyone have any insights on this issue? We were abl...

I've tracked a problem I'm having down to the following inexplicable behaviour within the .NET System.Text.Encoding class: byte[] original = new byte[] { 128 }; string encoded = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(original); byte[] decoded = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(encoded); Console.WriteLine(original[0] == decoded[0]); Am ...
I recently came across an encoding issue specific to how Firefox encodes URLs directly entered into the address bar. It basically looks like the default Firefox character encoding for URLs is NOT UTF-8, which is the case with most browsers. Additionally, it looks like they are trying to make some intelligent decisions as to what characte...
Consider the code below XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Invoice)); using (TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fileName)) { // Serialize the object, and close the TextWriter. serializer.Serialize(writer, invoice); writer.Close(); } No encoding is set on the stream writer by default. Does it def...

When I retrieve fields which contain Japanese text, I must, in code, convert each field from cp1252 to cp932 to display the text properly. However, when I set the computer to L...
I tried to send a text email with non-English characters using PHPs mail function. But instead my message went with funny looking garbage characters. How do I fix it?

In ASCII, the character < is encoded as a single-byte character 0x3C, what I'd like to know is that is there a character set where < is encoded differently? I tried UTF-8, it's the same.

A file is enough for numbers btw 1-10. You can confirm the finding below. How can you explain the finding? What did I do? save numbers to a file, lik...
