+### Output text in a specific character encoding
+
+You can specify the output character encoding by passing in the optional `encoding` argument when calling to the
+`text` or `html` instance methods, as well as the `read` class method.
+
+```ruby
+henkei = Henkei.new 'sample.pages'
+utf_8_text = henkei.text(encoding: 'UTF-8')
+utf_16_html = henkei.html(encoding: 'UTF-16')
+
+data = File.read 'sample.pages'
+utf_32_text = Henkei.read :text, data, encoding: 'UTF-32'
+```

 ## Installation and Dependencies
 
 ### Java Runtime
 
 Henkei packages the Apache Tika application jar and requires a working JRE for it to work.
-Check that you either have the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable set, or that `java` is in your path.
