poi. and i set output encoding method as UTF-8. but i still get special
characters µĪĦĜăĂ as ?????? only. whether i need to read content as UTF-8?

Rajeev,
There can be a problem with bidirection documents. Such things can be
complicated and errors can occur (first of all because i usually don't
work with bidirectional documents). To fix the issues please open new
bug in bugzilla and attach document and result HTML, generated using
latest build.
Also, on new topic please create new letter (do not use reply-to-all)
when starting new topic.
Best regards,
Sergey.

Looks like you've sent an incorrect encoding on your output. This comes up
a lot, mostly with people trying to use excel, see the archives for
details on how to resolve it for your given platform

If it's non-secret document, you can upload it to some file-hosting
servers (like www.rapidshare.com) or send it to me privatly.

output by WordToHtmlConverter?

Hi,
The special character n symbols could be anything. The word dcoument can
have all the special character n symbols, like Mu and everything.
After extracting for mu, its giving a small square box as output. Its
happening like this.
If copy the special symbol here its coming like boxes and ?. So I could not
list those.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Baby Periasamy.

Hi,
What is the special character that you need to get from Word document?
Can you provide some king of example of describe it more specifically?
According to specification, "special" is the characer that have
"special" flag in it's properies. AFAIR, such characters have special
meaning and processed by special methods (like processDeadField /
processField / processHyperlink / etc) or not printed in HTML at all.
Sergey.
