For me,
String's equalsIgnoreCase() method should only be use if the Object that is being compared in another Object is a String.... No other than that.....
(theory)
if it was converted in bytes(depends on the platform), then that bytes are passed on other platform, Converted again to String, It may affect the encoding.... Im not sure(though i don't really know the exact mechanism)
try to use
Collator class
