The fact that you have to apply that stringFormatoUTF8 method to a string
before you can properly use it, shows that your initial string contents are
broken. Characters in a Java String are expected to be UTF-16 encoded 2-byte
entities, not something else which requires re-decoding.
If you get those broken strings from your database access layer, either that
layer is broken, or the database connection is wrongly configured, or the
database is wrongly configured, or the contents of the database already are
broken. Anyway it should be fixed as far down in that stack as possible.
