    When you wrote the characters to a file (what method did you use?) they
    probably underwent a 16-bit to 8-bit conversion, using some encoding (what
    encoding did you specify? or what is your Java installation using as its
    default encoding?). When you looked at the file afterwards, the software
    you used to do that (what did you use?) probably wasn't set up to grok that
    encoding.

    What happens when you read the file back into Java?

    Good luck,

    Chris
