By the time the file has been parsed, it's been converted to a Java
string, which no longer has the encoding of the original file (it's UTF-16).
You need to address this in your original file, either by setting the
encoding to what it really is (if you have characters outside of ISO-8859-1
then it's not really encoded as ISO-8859-1) or by encoding the non-ISO
characters as unicode entities.

I don't think this does quite what you expect.
UnsupportedEncodingException will be thrown if the requested encoding is
unknown. Characters that are not supported by a known encoding turn into
"?".
