Could you provide revelant part of your code declaring and using the FileHandler ? – Michael Zilbermann Oct 10 '12 at 11:07
Where do the unicode characters come from, do you read them from a file or are they hard coded in the program? If the first, are you sure the file is being read correctly? – Joni Oct 10 '12 at 16:08
@Joni unicode characters come from a XML File. I wrote my program for read xml file and add data into a database. file is reading correctly. because data are correct in database. – Bishan Oct 11 '12 at 03:18
