Java BufferedWriter object with utf-8

I have the following code and I want to make the outputstream use utf-8. Basically I have characters like é that appear as é so it looks like an encoding issue.

I've seen lots of examples that use...

OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(path),"UTF-8");

My current code though is...

BufferedWriter out = new 
BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(DatabaseProps.fileLocation + "Output.xml"));

Is it possible to define this object as UTF-8 without having to use the OutputStreamWriter?

Thanks,

Use the method, Files.newBufferedWriter(Path path, Charset cs, OpenOption... options)

As requested by Toby, here is the sample code.

String errorFileName = (String) exchange.getIn().getHeader(HeaderKey.ERROR_FILE_NAME.getKey());
        String errorPathAndFile = dir + "/" + errorFileName;
        writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(Paths.get(errorPathAndFile),  StandardCharsets.UTF_8, StandardOpenOption.CREATE_NEW);
        try {
            writer.write(MESSAGE_HEADER + "\n");
        } finally {
            writer.close();
        }
