I have a legacy HTTP application which is sending my JAVA application data
in a simple binary stream of 8 bit bytes.  I'm capturing this data in an
integer array (I've tried char array as well)  and I'm getting into problems
with the Unicode representation.

Here's an example.  Part of the binary stream represents a long int 50301.
It's being transmitted to me as four bytes --  x00 x07 xA2 x89.

In the char array which capture this I what I see:

               \u2030
               \u00A2
               \u0007
               \u0000

I've written my own crude routine to convert this.  Of course it fails in
handling the \u2030 character because it loses precision when I cast it to a
byte.  Can anyone suggest a way to handle this problem?  Is there a function
will will properly convert the \u2030 to \x89?  BTW, I have a similar
problem trying to SEND a byte \x80 or \x81 to a legacy HTTP server
application.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

TIA
