Convert a UTF-8 string to ISO-8859-1 string
Hello. As you can see from my other post, I am working on internationalization. I could not find an appropriate entry in the forum already.
I want to convert form data (submitted from an HTML UTF-8 charset page) from the UTF-8 format to ISO-8859-1 format. How do I do that?
I.e.
String utfFormat="視聴者";
String isoFormat="";
// Do magic here
System.out.println(isoFormat); // out: "しての" (or whatever it is)
Can you help?

I think these can be done on browser side if you set META charset to ISO-8859-1
or set nothing.

As I said in the other thread (did you read that, BTW?), you shouldn't have to bother with actual character-set conversions.You just tell the InputStream what the Charset is when you read it in, and the OutputStream what Charset to use when you write it out.
What you're doing is escaping characters by replacing them with numeric entity references--the opposite of what you asked in the other thread. The process is just as simple: cast the char to an int, convert that to a string with String.valueOf(int), and add the "&#" and ";". You can use a regex-based approach like I did over there, but going in this direction, it will be just as easy without them.
Hiwa, check out that other thread; I think you'll find it amusing (in light of that second link you posted).
