java.util.scanner - Java Scanner hasNextLine returns false -

i have several files (actually java source files saved in eclipse on ubuntu) need read , process line line. i've noticed cannot read 1 of files. code using below

try (scanner scanner = new scanner(file)) {     while (scanner.hasnextline() ) {         builder.append(scanner.nextline()).append("\n");     } } catch (filenotfoundexception ex) {     system.out.println("error"); } 

i checking beforehand if file exists. , does. can rename it. cannot read single line. hasnextline returns false. (i try hasnext).

at end take @ content of file , find there different looking character (which in comment section of java file). following character.

¸ 

when delete character, can read file normally. not acceptable. can read files character in it?

this character set issue, caused fact platform running java code uses default different set; always practice specify expected/needed character set used when parsing, , scanner class matter of calling constructor as:

scanner scanner = new scanner(file, "utf-8"); 

where second parameter character set literal, or better:

scanner scanner = new scanner(file, standardcharsets.utf_8);
