Question

how can i do that

Answer 1

fire up your java with

 java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 <Your class Name>

Answer 2

There are methods in Java classes that accept a charset. See: InputStreamReader(java.io.InputStream, java.nio.charset.Charset) for instance.

But make sure you read Java Internationalization FAQ first, so you will understand how Java handles Unicode:
