According to the Java API [API 062006] for the class InputStream, with an array of bytes b as the parameter, the read(b) method:
...
The trailing byte ranges overlap the range of both the single byte and lead byte characters. This can cause issues because if a multibyte character is separated between buffer boundaries, it will be interpreted differently, as defined by its composing bytes [Phillips 052005].
A third data reading issue arises from the behavior of the String class constructor with respect to the default encoding. See FIO03-J. Specify the character encoding while performing file or network IO for more details.
