Unicode output to FileAppender - how to view file?
I am outputting to my FileAppender Strings that are Unicode.
However, I have opened my file with MS Word as a Unicode file, and the
actual string vlaue is represented as
"???????????".
I've also tried Netbeans with no success.
Would anyone know how to view the file properly to ascertain the unicode
values as meant to be displayed.

Update.
There is no method to change the file.encoding used by the FileWriter that
the FileAppender uses.
My workaround was to specify the file.encoding property at UTF-8 , and now
my log files contains unicode characters.

Ceiki,
I've been looking at WriterAppender.
There is a method on Writer for setEncoding(String encoding) which modifies
the member variable 'encoding', which is
"set to null by default which results in the utilization of the system's
default encoding."
I've noticed in my system that uses Unicode characters, that these are not
output because I have not modified the encoding scheme.
I may be totally wrong in my statement, so plese correct me.
I am trying to use UTF-8 as my encoding scheme, and it is this i would like
output to file.
How would I go about this?
