title: Trouble reading special characters (Java)
body: <p>I'm making a chat client that uses special encryption. It has a problem reading letters like «, ƒ, ̕  from the input buffer.</p>
  
  <p>Im reading them into a byte array and I tried using</p>
  
  <pre><code>Connection.getInputStream().read();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And also using</p>
  
  <pre><code>BufferedReader myInput = new BufferedReader(
      new InputStreamReader(Connection.getInputStream()));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But there appears to be a problem as it displays them as square boxes.</p>
