Data are not transfered as unicode through sockets

Question

I have aplication with connection through sockets. I use PrintWriter and BufferedReader for writing and reading data, created lik this:
pw = new PrintWriter( skt.getOutputStream(), true );
br = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( skt.getInputStream() ) );
When I send data I put this code for checking:
int tmpSize = str.length();
for( int i = 0; i < tmpSize; i++ )
     char chr = str.charAt( i );
     int tmpInt = (int)chr;
     System.out.print( tmpInt + " " );
System.out.println();
pw.println( str );
And when I receive data I put something similar with string read with
br.readLine().
For unicode characters the result is different ( I use ascii and russian characters ). At sending data, it is normal, and at receiving I get '?' instead of unicode characters, something like this
109 101 115 115 58 98 108 117 101 58 32 1092 1099
before sending data and this
109 101 115 115 58 98 108 117 101 58 32 63 63
after receiving.
Can somebody help me with this, or it is a bug?

Ok, I just solved it. I had to create reader and writer like this:
pw = new PrintWriter( new OutputStreamWriter( skt.getOutputStream(), "UTF-16" ) );
br = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( skt.getInputStream(), "UTF-16" ) );
Seems that default encoding set was not unicode even if it is Writer and Reader!
