Java String HTTP encoding

Question

I've got the following method to write HTTP response to browser socket.

public static void writeResponse(OutputStream os, HttpResponse response)
        throws IOException {    
    String total = just my http response text;  
    os.write(total.getBytes());
    //os.write(new String(total.getBytes(ISO_8859_1), UTF_8).getBytes()); - my try
    os.flush();
}

Charset is charset=UTF-8. Content type is text/plain.Text output text is

"Hello-eng\nПривет-rus\nこんにちは-jap\nनमस्ते-hind\nأهلا-arab"

But my browser can not read anything except English.

Hello-eng ��-rus ?????-jap ??????-hind ????-arab

What is wrong?

can you confirm you're using a modern standards compliant and up-to-date browser. Have you tried 2 different browsers. What happens if you show the page source or save it and view with a hex editor? — AutomatedMike

Chrome, Opera and Firefox has the same effect. If safe page and open in notepad, I will see English and Russian(!!!), but no others. — Tony

Convert the response string to UTF_8 byte array. And write it to the response stream.

os.write(total.getBytes(UTF_8));
