encoding in XSSF?

[Michael Jiang <it...@gmail.com>]

I need to create excel sheet. Is there a way to specify encoding? For
example a cell that contains special character, e.g., "½", which I want to
use "UTF-8" to show the symbol correctly in the sheet. Otherwise, it would
be displayed improperly. Where to set it?

Thanks!

You don't need to. POI handles this for you internally. As long as you 
pass in the correct Java string for your text, POI will encode it 
appropriately.

If you're having issues, check how your text is getting into Java
