Quoted Umlaut 'ß' (Unicode U+00DF) in wrong encoding about ez-vcard

Also with Java 1.7.0_45

Adding a CHARSET parameter to the FN property should solve the issue:

BEGIN:VCARD
FN;quoted-printable;CHARSET=ISO-8859-1:Max Ma=DF
TEL;voice:[phone]
END:VCARD

This parameter tells the vCard parser what character set the quoted-printable 
value is in.

Thanks a lot Mike for this fast responding, it works!

I work with an API which don't set the charset-encoding.

It is maybe a nice Feature to be able to set the encoding manually in the 
Ezvcard.parse()-method.

What is the default encoding if there no CHARSET-parameter has been set, like 
in this case? ASCII?

It will first attempt to find the character encoding of the Reader object.  If 
the Reader object doesn't have one (for example, if you are reading from a 
String object), then it will use your system's default character encoding.

I'll work on a way to set the encoding manually.

The default encoding could be set (REST, UTF-8), but the implementation seems 
to be not very consistent. So the fault is caused by the API-provider...

But I think that will be a nice feature for the future. Thanks a lot for your 
working on this very nice Java lib!

Fix completed.  You can now call a method to set a default character set for 
decoding quoted-printable properties that do not have a CHARSET parameter.

Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
VCard vcard = 
Ezvcard.parse(...).defaultQuotedPrintableEncoding(charset).first();
