This is a bit of a simplification.
You need to understand encoding, which kicks in when you use a Reader or 
Writer.  Otherwise you are dealing with raw bytes and InputStreams and 
OutputStreams.

Encoding takes your 16-bit internal Unicode chars and converts it back and 
forth to UTF-8 bytes.

see http://mindprod.com/applet/fileio.html for sample code see 
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/encoding.html for an explanation of encoding and the 
various types of encoding.
