Java - Html special chars

Question

I want to make some XPath request on a HTML file. Here is my code:

public static void main(String args[]) {

    try{

        /** We load the HTML file we want to parse */  
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (new FileInputStream("html_doyoubuzz.html"),"UTF-8"));


        /** we clean HTML file */           
        TagNode tagNode = new HtmlCleaner().clean(br);
        Document doc2 = new DomSerializer( new CleanerProperties() ).createDOM(tagNode);


        /******************************
         *                            *
         *       XPath Requests       *
         *                            *
         ******************************/

        XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();

        Object dates_experience = xpath.evaluate("/html/body/div[3]/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[4]/div/div[3]/h4/span[2]", doc2, XPathConstants.NODESET);

        NodeList nodes = (NodeList) dates_experience;
        String s;

        for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
            s = org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml4(nodes.item(i).getTextContent());
            System.out.println(s); 
        }



    }
    catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

My HTML file is encoded in UTF-8 (as written in the meta tag). My problem is the output. I get this:

d?cembre 2010 - d?cembre 2010)
f?vrier 2010 - juin 2010)
juillet 2009 - septembre 2009)
juin 2009 - juin 2009)
juillet 2008 - ao?t 2008)

instead of this, which is my desired output:

décembre 2010 - décembre 2010)
février 2010 - juin 2010)
juillet 2009 - septembre 2009)
juin 2009 - juin 2009)
juillet 2008 - août 2008)

Do you have any idea to solve the problem ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I finally found the answer.

I opened my html file with hexEdit and I saw some curious bytes: "EF BF BD".

It was because I did a right click/copy/paste of the html code. I had to change the way I loaded my html file.
