It are the bridges between character based output to byte based output that do the conversion (e.h. OutputStreamWriter). You can select the encoding to use when you instantiate one of those bridges. Also look in your jdk installarion directory; you can see a file src.zip that contains the source code for all those classes, free to study.

kind regards,
