How to use UTF-8 in resource properties with ResourceBundle

Question

I need to use UTF-8 in my resource properties using Java\'s ResourceBundle. When I enter the text directly into the properties file, it displays as mojibake.

Answer 1

Open the Settings / Preferences dialog (Ctrl + Alt + S), then click Editor and File Encodings.

Then, on the bottom, you will fing default encodings for properties files. Choose your encoding type.

Alternatively you can use unicode symbols instead of text in your resource bundle (for example "ів" equals \u0456\u0432)
