Convert from unrecognised character to normal form

I have a error with my file. That is, all the characters are like "Giá»âºi tính". I want to use Java to write a program that convert those characters to normal ones. I have tried to convert them to bytes and then convert again to String but it remained the same.

You need to know the encoding of the file in order to do this. Java internally represents all Strings as UTF-16; in order to fix the issue, you need to know the encoding of the file, and use that encoding when reading the file: http://goo.gl/PoBgo (Java API Docs)
