Binary to ascii Question

I pick a JPG a.jpg

I read in it using ServletInputStream to a byte[] array

bytes are, of course, signed one byte things
So if you got through the array you get int values between -127 and 127

If you say

String s = new String(byteArray)
char[] x = s.toCharArray();

And then go through that away you get int values way above 256

Why?

Really just wondering. I would think it would translate each byte to the
unicode equal which is what I am trying to do. Okay that didn't work, but
what did it do? Anyeasy way to go from a JPG to unicode?
Do I add 128 to all the byte value of just knock of the sign? Or niether?
