Spark Utf 8 encoding

Hello,

 Per the documentation default character encoding of spark is UTF-8. But
when i try to read non ascii characters, spark tend to read it as question
marks. What am I doing wrong ?. Below is my Syntax:

val ds = spark.read.textFile("a .bz2 file from hdfs");
ds.show();

The string "KøBENHAVN"  gets displayed as "K�BENHAVN"

I did the testing on spark shell, ran it the same command as a part of spark
Job. Both yields the same result.

I don't know what I am missing . I read the documentation, I couldn't find
any explicit config etc.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Is the original file indeed utf-8? Especially Windows environments tend to mess up the files (E.g. Java on Windows does not use by default UTF-8). However, also the software that processed the data before could have modified it.

My Terminal can display UTF-8 encoded characters. I already verified that.
But will double check again.
Thanks!

That doesn't necessarily look like a Spark-related issue. Your
terminal seems to be displaying the glyph with a question mark because
the font lacks that symbol, maybe?
