As mentioned in Write a file in UTF-8 using FileWriter (Java)? you should use OutputStreamWriter and FileOutputStream instead of FileWriter and specify the encoding:

String csvFilePath = "test.csv"; FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(csvFilePath); OutputStreamWriter fileWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(file, StandardCharsets.UTF_8); fileWriter.write("الاسم ، السن ، العنوان"); fileWriter.close();

Edit after comment:

To make sure the source code’s encoding is not the problem, escape your unicode string like this:

fileWriter.write("\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0633\u0645\u0020\u060c\u0020\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0646\u0020\u060c\u0020\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0646\u0648\u0627\u0646");
