Nick Burch commented on TIKA-867:
---------------------------------

As a general rule, you need ensure the following:
 * Tika is outputting in the encoding that your terminal is expecting to 
display in
 * That encoding actually supports the characters you have (mainly a problem 
for non-Unicode encodings)
 * The font your terminal uses has glyphs to display all the characters you have

If any of those are not the case, then things won't work properly / at all
                
> UTF-8 encoding does not work on windows

>    Affects Versions: 1.0
>         Environment: Windows 7 Enterprise (Java 1.6.0_31) and MAC OS X 10.7.3

> When calling tika as command line tool from within java and parsing the 
> output buffer with UTF-8 (e.g. new String(buffer, 0, len, 
> Charset.forName("UTF-8"));) behaviour on windows is different than on mac os.
> On windows the encoding seems to be wrong (Währung vs. W?hrung). Other tools 
> like exiftool work as expected.
