Every Java platform has a default character encoding. The codings available are listed in \[[Encodings 06|AA. Java References#Encodings 06]\]. The default encoding is used when a character is converted to a sequence of bytes and _vice versa_. If characters are being converted into an array of bytes, output, transmitted across some medium, input, and converted back into characters then it is clearly important that the same encoding is used on both side of the conversion. |
Also, see FIO02-J. Keep track of bytes read and account for character encoding while reading data.
