Utf-8 error (Malformed input character in...)

Question

Hello,
I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.2.1.0.
When I compile a project , I receive error message: "Malformed input character in ...file." .
When I double click in this error message, I see the source file has some Unicode encoded string.When I view Project properties, I see UTF8 is set in Compiler option.
If I switch to Default character set ( MS949), it compile OK.
The project I compile is a project that develolped by other developer and now it work ok ( of course it can display Unicode string , This prove that this project is compiled OK with compiler Unicode character set option).
Can anyone tell me how to fix this error.
Thanks

Hi vunguyen,
Please check
1) Java source file encoding
2) Project compiler encoding
1) You can check source file encoding from Tools|Preferences -> Environment on JDev which file is created on.
2) You can check compiler encoding from double click project and select development->Compiler.
Your problem should be caused by the difference of file encoding and compiler encoding.
Applying native2ascii would help you for code portability.
