Yikes.  I think there's more conversions going on than you realize.

You said in your previous post that, for instance, there is a sequence
of four bytes which came from an int, and you want to change that
back to an int.  If that is the case, why are you passing it through
a Unicode conversion?

I think you need to take a look at DataInputStream.
