Reading a string containing special character from a result set

Question

My Code....
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(fout);
if (connection == null)
connection = getConnection();
CallableStatement proc = connection.prepareCall("{call testing_read()}");
rs = proc.executeQuery();
while ( rs.next() )
String page2 = rs.getString(1);
System.out.println(page2);
rs.getString(1); is a string value eg. 'Rebekah \n Govender' that is being set in a stored procedure.
The output of my program is :'Rebekah \n Govender' , i need for it to read the special characters, and produce this output :
Rebekah
Govender
Without using a result set , it works fine.
eg.
String page2 = 'Rebekah \n Govender'
System.out.println(page2);
Will give an output of :
Rebekah
Govender
I need to read values from the results set, pls help me someone....
Please help....

String page2 = rs.getString(1).replace("\\n", "\n"); When you include source code in your posts, please enclose it in CODE tags. There's a button for that above the input textarea.

Hi,
you can try something like this:
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;;
*  Main class, manages the complete game
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String page2 = "Rebekah \n Govender";
try {
page2 = new String(page2.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "ETF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {}
System.out.println(page2);
