"ö" turns into "\xf6" about simple-yaml HOT 4 CLOSED

It is working now. Everything is getting wrote and outputted properly now.
Thank you so much!

from simple-yaml.

I cannot reproduce it. Check that the encoding of your config.yml is UTF-8 in your text editor.

Also check the encoding of the YamlFile:

YamlFile yamlFile = new YamlFile("test-encoding.yml");

System.out.println("Default Charset: " + Charset.defaultCharset());
System.out.println("Allow Unicode: " + FileConfiguration.SYSTEM_UTF);

yamlFile.createNewFile(false);
yamlFile.load();

yamlFile.set("ö", "ö");
yamlFile.set("umlauts", "öüäß");
yamlFile.set("hiragana", "ひらがな");
yamlFile.set("kanji", "漢字");
yamlFile.set("emoji", "\uD83D\uDE01");

yamlFile.getValues(true).forEach((key, value) -> System.out.println(key + ": " + value));

yamlFile.save();

This is my output:

Default Charset: UTF-8
Allow Unicode: true
ö: ö
umlauts: öüäß
hiragana: ひらがな
kanji: 漢字
emoji: 😁

from simple-yaml.

The encoding of the config is displayed as UTF-8.
I have run your code and this is my output:

Default Charset: windows-1252
Allow Unicode: false
�: �
umlauts: ����
hiragana: ????
kanji: ??
emoji: ?

Although the config is encoded in UTF-8, it contains the following:

"\xf6": "\xf6"
umlauts: "\xf6\xfc\xe4\xdf"
hiragana: "\u3072\u3089\u304c\u306a"
kanji: "\u6f22\u5b57"
emoji: "\U0001f601"

Is this maybe a problem from the OS? (I am using Windows 10, what is yours?)

from simple-yaml.

I'm using MacOS. Your system or Java VM default charset does not accept Unicode characters and this API uses the default charset encoding to load/save files.

Some methods and fields were deprecated because of this, like the FileConfiguration.SYSTEM_UTF in my code above. I've updated the API to use UTF-8 by default, with an option to change the charset. I've also removed deprecated code related to encoding issues (as per Bukkit newest FileConfiguration).

Update to v1.6.1 or a newer version and run the code at YamlEncodingTest to ensure it is working on your system.

If desired, you can change the encoding to use the default with:

yamlFile.options().charset(Charset.defaultCharset());
