Description

I started to upgrade our SAX parser Tika dependency from 1.17 to 1.19, ran all 995 unit tests and observed three failures, two encoding issues and one other weird thing. The tests use real HTML.

Where we previously extracted text such as 'Spokane, Wash. [— The solar' we now got 'Spokane, Wash. [â€" The solar' in one test. The other had 'could take ["weeks, or' but we not get 'could take [“weeks, or' extracted. Our tests pass with 1.17 but fail with 1.18 and 1.19.1.

Attached are the two HTML files.

Reading our tests again, i see an old note besides the indepedent test complaining about the character encoding being incorrect. It seems somewhere before 1.17 it was faultly just as it is now with 1.18 and higher.
