java - Strange char after reading from txt file -

i have txt file 3 rows of integers, after adding them list i'm finding unusual char @ origin of first index. used inputstream, bufferedreader , stringbuilder read file. tried debug using println() statements @ several places still can't figure out char came from.

file selectedfile = filechooser.getselectedfile(); inputstream = new fileinputstream(selectedfile); bufferedreader reader = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(inputstream)); stringbuilder out = new stringbuilder(); string line; while ((line = reader.readline()) != null) { out.append(line); items.add(line); }

when seek re-create output printing out list items post somehow char i'm talking not show, i'll post screenshot instead:

the first of entire list, , sec should show char i'm talking more clearly, looks dot before "3". help appreciated, give thanks you.

you can seek removing command characters (strange characters) doing following:

strangestring.replaceall("\\p{cntrl}", "");
