>From my experience, it's not the parser duty to handle the encoding. This
is usually done building a Reader using this weird syntax:
new InputStreamReader(<input_stream>, encoding)
but this assumes you already know the encoding of the stream you are going
to read.
In the past I used a framework (http://cpdetector.sourceforge.net/) that is
able to guess encoding from a stream and built a Reader using it to have
automatic encoding handling. CPDetector is a pluggable system using several
heuristics to detect a stream encoding.
I think Geotools / Geoserver are currently using the platform default
encoding in many cases (for example reading SLD and freemarker templates)
and this is often causing issues when transferring a data_dir to a
different platform (for example from Windows to Linux).
Maybe something similar to cpdetector could be used to avoid encoding
issues like the above.
