'B' char appears before unicode special symbols e. q. © symbol

[sinedsem]

This issue appears not always. Basically, it depends on image file. Some files are ok, others procudes this issue. Example of a problem file: https://github.com/sinedsem/test/blob/master/6.jpg

ArrayList<IPTCDataSet> iptcDataSets = new ArrayList<>();
iptcDataSets.add(new IPTCDataSet(IPTCApplicationTag.OBJECT_NAME, "I have ©"));
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream("6.jpg");
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("result.jpg");
Metadata.insertIPTC(is, os, iptcDataSets, true);
is.close();
os.close();

Result: I have В©.

P. S. I really wish to prodive you more information when opening issues, but debugger goes crazy every time I try to step into icafe methods. No idea why.

@sinedsem I can't reproduce the result you mentioned using the test image you provided.

Possibly something Locale-depended.. I'll check again myself.

Ok, I am closing this issue, as it's definitely not related to icafe, but..

The following code prints correct string to console, but if I use FileOutput stream, I get 'B' symbol before ©

ArrayList<IPTCDataSet> iptcDataSets = new ArrayList<>();
iptcDataSets.add(new IPTCDataSet(IPTCApplicationTag.OBJECT_NAME, "I have ©"));
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\Denis\\Desktop\\metadata\\6.jpg");
//        FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Users\\Denis\\Desktop\\metadata\\result.jpg");
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Metadata.insertIPTC(is, os, iptcDataSets, true);
is.close();
System.out.println(new String(os.toByteArray(), "utf-8"));
os.close();

Ok, I really sorry for opening this issue. The problem that both Adobe Bridge and Exif Pilot uses cp1251 uncoding, while I wanted to use utf-8.
