If you don't use the same character set for decoding as encoding, you are not going to get the same string in this case. What do you get if the decoding is also "UTF-8" ? – Clipclop

i have delete the perivious one – Autosome

للّٰهÙ?Ù…ÙŽÙ‘ اÙ?Ù†Ù?ّىْ اَسْئَلÙ?ÙƒÙŽ رÙ?زْقًاوَّاسÙ?عًاطَيÙ?ّبًامÙ?نْ رÙ?زْقÙ? This is what i am getting Any Solution. – Autosome

str1=new String(bytes, "UTF-8"); will give ?????? ??????? ?????????? ???????????????????????????? ?????? – Autosome

@user1029637 It is not a good idea to store localized string in java code. What about internationalization? You can read this article. – Plafond

Answer 1

The below code can be use for displaying arabic text in J2ME

String s=new String("\u0628\u06A9".getBytes(), "UTF-8");

where \u0628\u06A9 is the unicode of two arabic letters

Answer 2

You should use the a String contructor that allows you to specify the charset with an argument like String(byte[], Charset) (No Charset in J2ME) or String(byte[], String). Otherwise the byte array will be decoded using the platform default which may not be UTF-8.

Example:

 byte[] utf8bytes = ... //Byte array containing UTF-8 as bytes.
 String string = new String(utf8bytes, "UTF-8");

i use it like that str1=new String(bytes, "UTF-8"); same happen ?? – Autosome

It is possible that what ever console you are using that is displaying System.out does not have glyphs for those code points. What happens if you try to System.out your original String literal? – Foley

there's no constructor with Charset in J2ME MIDP String API – Votary

I found the solution :
Window > Preferences > General > Content Types

Chose the type of file you want (Text=> java in your case )

Now paste UTF-8 to Default encoding and click "update".
