I am trying to display Thai baht symbol in a CSV file. I write it using java.util.Currency

Currency.getInstance(“THB”).getSymbol(new Locale(“th”, “TH”))

I enabled Thai using Control panel but Excel was showing garbage character where as I am able to see this symbol in notepad. I used your suggestion but it didnt work.

I tried UTF-16LE encoding for setting the bom by encoding but that didnot work either. Any suggestions?? Thanks.

Here is the test case:
======================
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import com.Ostermiller.util.CSVPrint;
import com.Ostermiller.util.ExcelCSVPrinter;
import java.util.*;

public class ThaiCurrencySymbolTest {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
File f1 = new File(“C:\\Test-Thai-Symbol.csv”);
CSVPrint csvWriter = ThaiCurrencySymbolTest.getCSVPrintWriter(f1);
csvWriter.print(Currency.getInstance(“THB”).getSymbol(new Locale(“th”, “TH”)) + “1523.65″);
csvWriter.flush();
csvWriter.close();
}

public static CSVPrint getCSVPrintWriter(File file) throws IOException {
//OutputStreamWriter buf = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file),”TIS620″);
OutputStreamWriter buf = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file),”UTF-8″);
CSVPrint csvWriter = new ExcelCSVPrinter(buf);
csvWriter.setAlwaysQuote(true);
csvWriter.print(“\uFEFF”);
return csvWriter;
}
}
