Tim Allison commented on TIKA-3048:
-----------------------------------
On the file you shared with us, I still got garbage with the
UniversalEncodingDetector and the Icu4jEncodingDetector.
I got "在一天中一个漆黑的夜晚，有两只死了的牡蛎出来玩� � 们背对背面对对方�" when I told the charset detector
to "just use UTF8" with this:
{noformat}
<properties>
<!-- Explicitly request default parsers -->
<parsers/>
<encodingDetectors>
<encodingDetector
class="org.apache.tika.detect.NonDetectingEncodingDetector">
<params>
<param name="charset" type="string">UTF-8</param>
</params>
</encodingDetector>
</encodingDetectors>
</properties>
{noformat}
> Tika unable to parse html files with non UTF-8 charset
