title: Special character in Android TextView stopped working in the app after almost a year?
body: <p>7 months ago I built an app targeting Android 2.3.3 and above (API 10). In the app I use an <strong>SimpleCursorAdapter</strong> which is <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleCursorAdapter.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">deprecated now</a>. First the app reads a .csv document and saves the information in the SQLiteDatabase. </p>
  
  <p>The <strong>SimpleCursorAdapter</strong> gets the info out of the database and shows a list on the screen. The .csv has a few words with the special character <strong>ë</strong> in it, example: variëteit. The app build 7 months ago that is now in the store works fine and shows the special character correct in the list. </p>
  
  <p>Here is the problem:<br/>
  When I build the app now on my phone it doesn't show the special character <strong>ë</strong> in the list but this instead:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tAN5W.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tAN5W.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>When I download the 7 months old version from the store, it does show the correct special character. </p>
  
  <p>The weird thing is, I didn't change the code! So I have no idea why it suddenly stopped working. Does anyone have an idea?</p>
  
  <p><em>What did I try:</em><br/>
  I tried to change the encoding to: ISO8859-1, but that also gave a weird character..</p>
  
  <p>I tried: String correctText = Html.fromHtml(textView.getText().toString()));
  But that also didn't work.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  The problem is reading the .csv file. When I put the value in the database it is already incorrect. I tried reading the .csv file with different encodings, but I coulnd't get the right encoding... I tried all the standard encodings. But it still didn't work. I can't find out what the right encoding is... </p>
