My client uses InputStreamReader/BufferedReader to fetch text from the Internet. However when I save the Text to a *.txt the text shows extra weird special symbols like 'Â'.

  • I've tried Convert the String to ASCII but that mess upp å,ä,ö,Ø which I use.

  • I've tried food = food.replace("Â", ""); and IndexOf(); But string won't find it. But it's there in HEX Editor.

So summary: When I use text.setText(Android), the output looks fine with NO weird symbols, but when I save the text to *.txt I get about 4 of 'Â'. I do not want ASCII because I use other Non-ASCII character. The 'Â' is displayed as a Whitespace on my Android and in notepad.

Thanks!

Have A great Weekend!
