List of Supported Character Encodings in Java
This section provides a list of supported character encodings supported in Java. The list is generated using the availableCharsets() static method in the java.nio.charset.Charset class.
Before looking at how to perform an character encoding, let's see how many encodings are supported in Java 11 using the availableCharsets() static method in the java.nio.charset.Charset class.
Here is my tutorial program to display all the supported character encodings in Java:
/* Encodings.java
* Copyright (c) 2019 HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved.
*/
import java.nio.charset.*;
import java.util.*;
class Encodings {
public static void main(String[] arg) {
SortedMap m = Charset.availableCharsets();
Set k = m.keySet();
System.out.println("Canonical name, Display name,"
+" Can encode, Aliases");
Iterator i = k.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
String n = (String) i.next();
Charset e = (Charset) m.get(n);
String d = e.displayName();
boolean c = e.canEncode();
System.out.print(n+", "+d+", "+c);
Set s = e.aliases();
Iterator j = s.iterator();
while (j.hasNext()) {
String a = (String) j.next();
System.out.print(", "+a);
}
System.out.println("");
}
}
}
Compile and run it with Java 11:
