Description Stanley Stein 2007-04-09 21:08:45 UTC 
I have an Excel files consisting of some Traditional Chinese characters and
normal alphabets. When I use HSSFCell::getStringCellValue() to read some Chinese
characters, it returns question marks.

e.g. The cell contains "How are you 你好嗎"
The returned value will be "How are you ???"

I also try to add HSSFCell::setEncoding(HSSFCell.ENCODING_UTF_16) before reading
the cell, but the problem still occurs.

Please kindly advise. Thanks a lot.

Should work fine with POI 3.0.1 and later

Please re-open with a failing test case if your problem is still there with a
svn checkout of poi
