    {	
		String path = "example.txt";
		String line = "";
        try

    		File file = new File(path);
    		InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file), "UTF8");
    		BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
    		while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) 
    		{
    			System.out.println(line);
    		}
    		in.close();
        }
