Yes, the file starts with XML declaration that
specifies the encoding as utf-8.
When I try to read the file through a InputStream API
in java, the reading terminates with an exception. The
cause of the exception being special characters (Curly
closing double quote). Hence I tried providing the
encoding as windows-1252 while reading the file. this
time there was no exception.
