When working with different character encodings in Java, it is not uncommon to come across situations where you need to read or write text using a specific encoding. In this article, we will focus on writing text in ISO-8859-16 encoding in Java.

ISO-8859-16 is an extension of the ISO-8859 character encoding standard that includes additional characters needed for Central European languages such as Romanian and Polish.

To write text in ISO-8859-16 encoding, you need to follow these steps:

1. Create an instance of the OutputStream class, which represents an output stream of bytes.

   OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream("output.txt");
   

2. Create an instance of the OutputStreamWriter class, which is a bridge between characters and byte streams. Specify the desired encoding as a parameter.

   OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream, "ISO-8859-16");
   

3. Use the write() method of the writer to write the text. Make sure to handle any IOException that may occur.

   try {
       writer.write("This is an example of text in ISO-8859-16 encoding.");
       writer.flush(); // Flush the writer to make sure all data is written to the underlying output stream
   } catch (IOException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
   }
   

4. Close the writer to release any system resources it may have acquired.

   writer.close();
   

By following these steps, you can write text in ISO-8859-16 encoding in Java.

Remember to always handle exceptions appropriately when working with file I/O operations in Java.
