Converting UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 in Java – how to keep it as single byte
If you’re dealing with character encodings other than UTF-16, you shouldn’t be using java.lang.String or the char primitive — you should only be using byte[] arrays or ByteBuffer objects. Then, you can use java.nio.charset.Charset to convert between encodings: Charset utf8charset = Charset.forName(“UTF-8”); Charset iso88591charset = Charset.forName(“ISO-8859-1”); ByteBuffer inputBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[]{(byte)0xC3, (byte)0xA2}); // decode UTF-8 … Read more
