UTF-8 in java applet in browser

I have a problem with encoding in a java applet. When I run it in NetBeans, the Russian characters in the applet are fine. No coding issues. But when I launch the same applet through the browser, my Russian characters are displayed as squares (encoding problem).

Where is the problem?

I have Russian translations in .properties files that are UTF-8 encoded. I also tried converting them to UTF-8 using

value = new String(bundle.getString(cLabel).getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF8");

Some ideas?

By default, .properties files are standard ISO8859-1, and any characters not represented there must be encoded using escape sequences, see the native2ascii program that comes with the JDK on how to convert them.

Pass this property to your applet:

 java_arguments="-Dfile.encoding=utf-8"

(note that depending on the html code used, the syntax may differ, but the attribute name is java_arguments , and the value is -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 )
