You can convert string, read by readLine to UTF8, using following code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(new File("MyFile.txt"), "r");
    String line = raf.readLine();
    String utf8 = new String(line.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
    System.out.println("Line: " + line);
    System.out.println("UTF8: " + utf8);
}
