Birendar, I think you would have to share some more information, perhaps a code snippet if you expect any help from the forum. Try to explain your problem in more detail.
Latest "release" of poi can be downloaded from poi website which is 2.5.1. You can also get the latest development version from the dev directory. Both release and development versions are available in source and binary forms. Your problems seems to be related to handling of encoding. But I do not have anything to say about it :).
