The API sends and receives the raw bytes, and Winbox displays the bytes using the Windows ANSI charset, which is different for every locale. If you've successfully converted windows-1252 to UTF-8 with iconv, then you should be able to do the same with Java.

BUT, the problem with Java then becomes where and how you output the result. If you were to write the UTF-8 output to a text file, and read it with a UTF-8 aware text editor, you should see the correct characters.

Outputting the text on a Windows terminal however would use Windows' "OEM code page" charset, which is NOT the same as the "windows-*" charset. And outputting it in the GUI... depends on the GUI toolkit, and I'm not personally familiar with Android's rules. If UTF-8 doesn't work, then my next guess would be UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE.
