java – Can't read Russian

Question:

Working with files, my code is:

package com.company;

import java.io.*;
import  java.util.Scanner;

public class Censore {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        FileReader fr = new FileReader("C:\\Users\\Stepan\\Список.txt");
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(new InputStreamReader(
                new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\Stepan\\Список.txt"), "UTF-8");
        String t = scan.nextLine();
        fr.close();
        System.out.println(t);
        String[] mats = t.split(" ");
        int longarray = mats.length;
        Scanner fx = new Scanner(System.in);
        String stroka = fx.nextLine();
        for (int i = 0; i < longarray; i++) {
            stroka = stroka.replaceAll(mats[i], "*цензура*");
        }
        System.out.println(stroka);
    }
}

The file contains Russian characters. When they are read � icons appear. Apparently there is a problem with UTF-8 encoding. I work in Intellij IDEA. Please tell me how to fix it.

Answer:

The standard Windows encoding is CP-1251 . In Java it is encoded as windows-1251 , so in your code you need to write it like this:

Scanner scan = new Scanner(new InputStreamReader(
        new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\Stepan\\Список.txt"), "windows-1251"));

For reference:

"ISO-8859-1"   - западноевропейские языки
"windows-1251" - стандартная Windows (русская)
"UTF-8"        - юникод
