How to read *.properties files with Russian text in Java?

How to read correctly in order to get a normal Cyrillic alphabet?

Answer 1

The properties files must be in ISO-8859-1 encoding. Characters of other encodings must be escaped (\uXXXX). Use the native2ascii utility to convert. Better yet, use an IDE. They automatically escape characters.

Answer 2

I figured it out, IDEA itself converts files into a readable form for both the developer and the compiler

Answer 3

And where (in which folder) should I put the file that needs to be read?

Answer 4

In fact, everything is simple. Use the following read implementation:

try {
            File file = new File("src/main/resources/config.properties");
            properties.load(new FileReader(file));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
