i've got the following problem :
i'am getting some string with polish characters as some artifacts how
can i change these letters back to normal polish letters??
i've tried something like that

new String(b.getDescription().getBytes("UTF-8"),"ISO-8859-1")

but it didn't work, i've got still some dirty characters in string

You have to be careful with terms. A string is 16-bit characters. You
probably have some bytes, some sort of 8-bit encoding.

In any case, my essay on encoding should tell you more than you wanted
to know about translating back and forth.
