    String org = "Santel";
    System.out.println(name);

  • UTF-8 encoding and URL encoding performed by `URLEncoder` are two **very** different things that serve quite different purposes. Unless you are trying to use the string as a part of URI you do not need to use `URLEncoder` at all and you should just follow the answer from [Java. Ignore accents when comparing strings](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2373213/java-ignore-accents-when-comparing-strings?lq=1) linked above. – Oleg Estekhin May 27 '14 at 08:23
