Compare FileReader and FileInputStream

[yuvalzi]

hi,

I have a file with the following char, saved as utf-8:
"Č"

The character is the unicode hex value "010C" (Latin Extended-A).
As much as i understand it is saved as binary values: 00000001 00001100
I am running on windows XP and the default character-set of the JVM is the codebase "windows-1252".

When reading the values with java.io.FileInputStream one byte after another and print the contents to the console, i get the following values:
196
140
But if i run it with java.io.FileReader i get the following values:
196
338
Why is there such a difference?

Why doesnt it print:
1 -- equivalent to first 2 hex digits - (01)
12 -- equivalent to last 2 hex digits - (0C)

Thanks Yuval

Can you post the code?
Hex 0x01 is not the same as the char '1' or the String "1".

Can you read the file in a hex editor and post its contents in hex.

And can you pick one of your two posts (that I've spotted) and close the other one?
Because double posting is a bit rude...and impatient.

See my post on the other thread you started...
