Display Hebrew Characters in android

I'm trying to send from c# to java(android), via tcp a string that contains hebrew characters.

However, the data that comes to java are question marks.

Here the relevant code:

C# (m_client is tcpclient class):

NetworkStream stream = client.m_client.GetStream();
byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(msg);
stream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);

Java(Android):

BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(m_client.getInputStream(),"Windows-1255"));
char[] buffer = new char[1024]; 
input.read(buffer);
return new String(buffer);

I've tried all kinds of encoding in the java part (windows-1255,UTF-8,ASCII,iso-8859-8-i,iso-8859-8), but nothing seems to work

my OS is windows 7 Thank you all in advance.

this worked for me:

BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, Charset.forName("Windows-1255")));

On the device go to settings/language&input and make sure the language is Hebrew or how do you say Hebrew in Hebrew. This should set the device locale I don't show it listed but then again I don't know Hebrew. Part of the headers in a http request specifically Accept-Language: lain/hebrew and this Hebrew is part of utf-8 but you do have the right to left thing. This trick could be useful if you don't have a Hebrew keyboard for testing. Good luck
