How to display rupee symbol in my java class?

if(this.currency.equalsIgnoreCase("₹")) {
    r="₹ "+r;
}

I want to compare ₹(Indian rupee symbol) in java. Here I am trying to print currency rupee symbol, but instead it is displaying the symbol like â?¹.

How to overcome this problem?

I had a scenario using the SpringBoot 3.3.1 version and JDK 17

Adding Usecase : double total = invoiceDataList.stream().mapToDouble(data -> data.getPrice().doubleValue()).sum();

Paragraph totalParagraph = new Paragraph("Total: ₹" + String.format("%.2f", total))
                    .setFont(customFont)
                    .setFontSize(18)
                    .setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.RIGHT)
                    .setMarginTop(20);
                    doc.add(totalParagraph);

I can see the Rupee symbol on PDF invoice Report

String string = "\u20B9";
byte[] utf8 = string.getBytes("UTF-8");

string = new String(utf8, "UTF-8");
System.out.println(string);

  • Enable "UTF-8" in your editor (eclipse/netbean)
  • Or use unicode ("\u20B9").

Try this:

String s="₹";

if(s.equalsIgnoreCase("₹")) {
  System.out.println("if condition"+s);
}

Your problem seems to be not much about the compare part of that snippet but mainly related to the printing, to display that characters correctly wrap System.out in an OutputPrintWriter with an UTF-8 encoding, it's needed on some OS configuration:

OutputStreamWriter stdOut=new OutputStreamWriter(System.out,"UTF8");
stdOut.println("₹");

You can try with:

if(this.currency.equals("\u20B9")) {
    r="₹ "+r;
}

"\u20B9" is the java encoding for rupee symbol.
