[android-developers] Accents in strings

I have a text file (ASCII) which I am reading line by line through a
Buffered Reader. There are some european accents in the file like è
and they are not being read properly. I know this is a unicode
problem but going further into my investigation led me to find that it
is difficult to store accents in strings - if you add this to any
project:

Log.v("Test Accent", "è");

You get a very strange result - or at least not what I'd expect to
see!

Has anyone else managed to get accents stored correctly in a String
and subsequently in a TextView?

Thanks
