Unicode JTextArea displays bad from jar; fine in netbeans

When I run my program from netbeans the Unicode looks fine. But when I run it from a compiled jar, it does not display correctly.

The following attempt did not fix it

Font font = new Font("Arial Unicode MS", Font.PLAIN, 16);
textarea.setFont(font);
// the two lines above were my attempt to fix the display, no luck
textarea.read( new FileReader( file.getAbsolutePath() ), null );

Here is the input text:

この文の長さは、Twitterの中で許容されるべきである。この文は長すぎない。この文はならず長すぎます。

Here is the result when I load that string from the program launched from the jar version:

Длина �того предложени� должны быть приемлемы в Twitter.

I struggled with an analogous problem for so long I won't say. The following construct works fine INSIDE NetBeans 8.01 with jdk 8

String reconstituted;
//...
Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
InputStream reconstitutedStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(reconstituted.getBytes(charset));
InputStreamReader ipsr = new InputStreamReader(reconstitutedStream);

But fails to display correct characters outside of ASCII range when run from jar file. Specifying the charset to the InputStreamReader constructor (like answer above, duh!! ) works both inside and outside NetBeans.

String reconstituted;
//...
Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
InputStream reconstitutedStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(reconstituted.getBytes()); 
InputStreamReader ipsr = new InputStreamReader(reconstitutedStream, charset);

Not sure, but you should try with another Reader to specify another charset. 

Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");  
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file), charset));
textarea.read( reader , null );
