(was: What would be the correct one? None? Utf-8? windows-1252? From what I see, the output is always "pure" ascii, and the "-encoding" setting is ignored:
{code}
    private static void appendEscaped(StringBuilder builder, char character)
    {
        // write non-ASCII as named entities
        if ((character < 32) || (character > 126))
        {
            int charAsInt = character;
            builder.append("&#").append(charAsInt).append(";");
        }
        else
        {
            switch (character)
            {
            case 34:
                builder.append("&quot;");
                break;
            case 38:
                builder.append("&amp;");
                break;
            case 60:
                builder.append("&lt;");
                break;
            case 62:
                builder.append("&gt;");
                break;
            default:
                builder.append(String.valueOf(character));
            }
        }
    }

{code}
)

>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Text extraction
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
>         Environment: OS X 10.11.4, Java 1.8.0_73-b02
>            Reporter: Aaron Madlon-Kay

>
> When running the command line {{ExtractText}} with the {{-html}} flag, the output file always has the following meta tag specifying UTF-16 regardless of the actual output encoding:
> {code:html}
> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="UTF-16">
> {code}
> This causes editors that respect the meta tag (emacs, etc.) to garble the file content.
