some char is getting converted into ( )
<p>I have the following line of java code ..</p>

<pre><code> String description = new String(somestring.getBytes("ISO_8859_1"),"UTF-8");
</code></pre>

<p>Now it got stored in oracle column as </p>

<p>somestring1 -->  (), as an employer, attracts the most talented people to come work here.</p>

<p>somestring2 -->  Senior leaders in () have allocated a sufficient workforce.</p>

<p>So, here i m not able to understand what char is getting replaced by ().</p>

<p>Can anyone help here, which char is getting converted into () and getting stored in db.</p>

<p>Thanks,
