Java provides extensive support for handling different character encodings, including ISO-8859-11. In this blog post, we will explore how to write text in the ISO-8859-11 encoding using Java.

ISO-8859-11 is a character encoding standard that is primarily used for representing the Thai script. It is a part of the ISO 8859 series of standards, which defines several 8-bit character encodings for various languages and scripts.

To write text in the ISO-8859-11 encoding in Java, you can use the OutputStreamWriter class along with the ISO-8859-11 character set.

Here’s an example code snippet that demonstrates how to write a string in the ISO-8859-11 encoding:

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

public class Iso8859EncodingExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String text = "สวัสดี"; // Thai text
        
        try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("output.txt");
             OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_11)) {
            
            writer.write(text);
            writer.flush();
            
            System.out.println("Text written successfully in ISO-8859-11 encoding.");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

In the above example, we create a FileOutputStream to write the text to a file named “output.txt”. We then wrap the FileOutputStream with an OutputStreamWriter, which allows us to specify the character set as ISO-8859-11 using the StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_11 constant.

Finally, we call the write() method on the OutputStreamWriter to write the string in the specified encoding. We flush the writer to ensure that all the data is written to the output file.

Make sure to handle any potential IOException that may occur during the writing process.

By using this approach, you can write text in the ISO-8859-11 encoding in Java. This is particularly useful when dealing with Thai text or any other content that requires the ISO-8859-11 encoding.
