  <p>Hello,</p>
  
  <p>what is the default character encoding in Java, when used to process text data?</p>
  
  <p>I have browsed quite a while, however, I cannot find an answer (or I am not searching properly). I have text data, which was downloaded from web pages. Java was used for this, and the default encoding to process everything. I mean, during the whole process (downloading) no encoding was specified, and I assume there must be some default one. Which one? Thank you.</p>
