translate HTML tag to String

hello,

Code:

private static String getWebTitle(String site) {
InputStream response = null;String title = null; try {
response = new URL(site).openStream();Scanner scanner = new Scanner(response);String responseBody = scanner.useDelimiter("\\A").next();title = (responseBody.substring(responseBody.indexOf("<title>") + 7, responseBody.indexOf("</title>")));} catch (Throwable ignore) {
} finally {
try {
if (response != null) {
response.close();}
} catch (Throwable ignore) {
}
}

return title;}

the code above gets the title of a web page, but this doesn't always works...

when the title contains special characters it wont get translated correctly

for example:
title is: 'ɹǝdsɐſ'
translation: 'ɹ�ds�ſ'

is there a way to correct this?

thanks in advanced

 

I have this:

Code:

...
response = new URL(site).openStream();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(response);
String responseBody = scanner.useDelimiter("\\A").next();
title = (responseBody.substring(responseBody.indexOf("<title>") + 7, responseBody.indexOf("</title>")));
title = URLDecoder.decode(title, "UTF-8");
...

but it still doesn't work, got any more ideas?
