It is actually very easy to support international characters in java. The only trick is knowing the charset that the text is encoded in. Most of the time is a safe bet to try UTF-8 if you dont know. If you use Apache's HTTPClient it has methods to get the charset of the stream you are reading from.
Thanks! This code was just what I needed in order to read and write æ, ø & å! :-)
