Problems showing ascii emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in a plain text output file using java programming language

Question

I am a beginner java developer and developing a java program that returns a plain output text file on a browser specifically. Because the program is running on a server.

Whenever something goes wrong I just need to show this following ASCII Art-

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have tried using BufferedStreamOutput:

errorOutput.writeln("##################################\n"
                    + "#####       Error Output     ######\n"
                    + "#####       ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯       ######\n"
                    + "##################################\n");

 

The problem is when I look into the output text file I get the following: 

##################################
#####       Error Output    ######
#####       ¯\_(ツ)_/¯       ######
##################################

How can I solve this problem using java?

Answer 1

This can solved in a couple of ways I have tried in a fancy way to solve this problem.

Solved using the following code snippets:

    @GET
    @Path("getError/{idApp}")
    @Produces("text/html; charset=UTF-8")  //specify that you are printing UTF-8 as output format

    public Response getError(@PathParam("idApp") Integer idApp) {
        return super.getError(jobsMap.get(idApp));
    }

    
    return Response.ok(job.getError(), "text/plain; charset=UTF-8").build();
