> Tika producing empty string as output for UCS-2 and UCS-4 encoded txt files.
> No logs or errors just an empty string.
> Other formats are okay except UTF-7 files are parsed as UTF-8 which wreaks
> havoc with non ascii characters.
> how do i know that?: I opened an the UTF-7 file as UTF-8 encoded using open
> dialog of gedit and found the outputs similar
>
> I am attaching all four encoded files along with tika's output from parsing
> the UTF-7 for reference
