Danish letters won't display properly on Android TextView

I'm writing a Danish dictionary app. I can index the source files correctly (I think--I use Lucene and DanishAnalyzer), but I can't properly display the words in TextViews and ListViews. The letters æ, ø, and å are displayed as question marks inside a diamond. How do I fix this?

I set the InputStreamReader encoding to MacRoman instead of UTF-8. I supply this InputStreamReader to GSON's fromJson() method. I still don't understand what's going on though.

The problem is probably your data source and it's encoding. If you get the text from some web source you might have to encode it to UTF-8 and then put it in the TextView.
