title: Isn't the size of character in Java 2 bytes?
body: <p>I used <code>RandomAccessFile</code> to read a <code>byte</code> from a text file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static void readFile(RandomAccessFile fr) {
      byte[] cbuff = new byte[1];
      fr.read(cbuff,0,1);
      System.out.println(new String(cbuff));
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why am I seeing one full character being read by this?</p>
