I'm loading data in webview from my web server.

In some webpages, it contains Bangali (Bangla) Font. In most of the devices, everything is working fine. But some of Samsung devices the font is not showing correctly.

Galaxy S Duos3 
Galaxy S Duos3 (vivalto3gvn)
Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100)
Galaxy Young2
Galaxy Core (arubaslim)

(Sony)
Xperia acro S (LT26w)
Xperia Z2 (D6503)

are some of them. The actual content should be like

but the devices are showing like this

My code is:

webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setDefaultTextEncodingName("utf-8");
webView.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
webView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE, null);
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, url, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);

I've checked the answers Android WebView with garbled UTF-8 characters., String Encoding problem in Webview and the blog post

can't figure out my problem.

Maye be you have the wrong encoding name? – Christian Ceballos Feb 28 '17 at 14:45
looks like a classic encoding mismatch. Are you making sure *everything* is set to do things in UTF8? (your classes, your resource files, your data read in and write out, etc. etc.) – Mike 'Pomax' Kamermans Mar 01 '17 at 23:05
It seems everything are in `UTF8`. – Mar 02 '17 at 05:39
