title: Reading from a file doesn't get the expected text
body: <p>I'm trying to read a config for a sudoku type game from a file, line by line, and then separate the line into useable data. </p>
  
  <p><strong>However, when I try to save it as a string, the lines with a '÷' show up strangely</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>if (file != null &amp;&amp; file.exists() &amp;&amp; file.canRead()) {
  try {
      //For each line manipulate the data for processing
      BufferedReader buffered = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
      String currentLine;
      while((currentLine = buffered.readLine()) != null) {
          target = currentLine.split(" ")[0];
          System.out.println(target);
          ids = (currentLine.split(" ")[1]).split(",");
          .....
      }
      buffered.close();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The first two lines of the file are:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>11+ 1,7</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>2÷ 2,3</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The result of my debugging print statement is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>11+
  java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "2Ã"
  2Ã·
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I believe the ÷ is showing up as Ã for some reason.</p>
