[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-867) UTF-8 encoding does not work on windows

["Nick Burch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-867?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13278504#comment-13278504 ] 

Nick Burch commented on TIKA-867:
---------------------------------

As a general rule, you need ensure the following:
 * Tika is outputting in the encoding that your terminal is expecting to display in
 * That encoding actually supports the characters you have (mainly a problem for non-Unicode encodings)
 * The font your terminal uses has glyphs to display all the characters you have

If any of those are not the case, then things won't work properly / at all

> When calling tika as command line tool from within java and parsing the output buffer with UTF-8 (e.g. new String(buffer, 0, len, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));) behaviour on windows is different than on mac os.
> On windows the encoding seems to be wrong (Währung vs. W?hrung). Other tools like exiftool work as expected.
