character encoding and charsets 2007-05-03 - By Justin Warren

Hi guys..
I have an interesting problem. I am using POI to extract text from a
word doc. (word 2000/03 usually). But the document is written in
Chinese. So naturally, when I write the extracted text to a plaintext
file, I get random ascii characters. So, I want to be able to decode the
charset into UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com). Is there any way to determine the charset so I can
decode it?
In eclipse, I am doing a WordExtractor.getParagraphs() and if I set a
breakpoint, I can see the Chinese characters. Also, I noticed that there
is a property in HWPFDocument called field_27_cChFtnEdn. Is that
possibly what I should be looking at?
Thanks
