Your posting is encoded in 8859-1 too. This doesn't help.

Assuming you want a row of e with acute accent, set your IDE or editor 
to UTF8 and then type in

------------------------- 8< ------------------------------
public class CharacterEncodingTest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 new CharacterEncodingTest();
             }
         });
     }

     CharacterEncodingTest() {
         JPanel p = new JPanel();
         p.add(new JLabel("|-|-|-|-|-"));

         JFrame f = new JFrame("Char Encoding Test");
         f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         f.add(p);
         f.pack();
         f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
         f.setVisible(true);
     }
}

The above works for me.

If I have my newsreading software set correctly, this posting will be 
encoded in UTF-8 and all will be well.

You can always avoid most charset/encoding issues by doing something like
   new JLabel("\u00e9\u00e9\u00e9\u00e9\u00e9");

If I have misunderstood your question you'd best spell out in words what 
characters you types in, what you expected to see and what you actually saw.

The key really is to make sure your IDE/editor is set to use UTF-8.

Your example works for me too ! But unfortunately this is not what I
am trying to do. I got a text string from a UTF-8 encoded file and
after reading the file I set a String with the text content in order
to display in a JLabel.

You must partition your problem.

1. make sure the file truly is encoded it UTF-8. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/encoding.html and use the encoding
recogniser.

2. read the UTF-8 file.  See http://mindprod.com/applet/fileio.html

3. verify that you indeed have the Unicode chars expected by dumping
them in decimal or hex.

4. make sure the font you are using supports those characters.  See
http://mindprod.com/applet/fontshower.html

Do you actually have a text string?  Or just an array of bytes?  I would
have thought that any string you get back from reading the UTF-8 file
would be a proper Java 16-bit Unicode string.  Why isn't it?

How do you get your text string?

Your Google-fu is too weak! Exercise it more!

OK I admit my example was flawed. The text string really came from a
ressource bundle file (UTF-8 encoded of course) using the standard
ressource bundle API. Anyway many thanks RGB, your last example was
very inspiring.
