    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `static int` | `DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE` Default byte buffer size (8192, larger than that of ASCIIReader since it's reasonable to surmise that the average UCS-4-encoded file should be 4 times as large as the average ASCII-encoded file).
    `protected byte[]` | `fBuffer` Byte buffer.
    `protected short` | `fEncoding`
    `protected InputStream` | `fInputStream` Input stream.
    `static short` | `UCS2BE`
    `static short` | `UCS2LE`
    `static short` | `UCS4BE`
    `static short` | `UCS4LE`

                           short encoding)

      Constructs an ASCII reader from the specified input stream using the default buffer size. The Endian-ness and whether this is UCS-2 or UCS-4 needs also to be known in advance.
      Parameters:
        `inputStream` - The input stream.
        `encoding` - One of UCS2LE, UCS2BE, UCS4LE or UCS4BE.

    - #### UCSReader

          public UCSReader(InputStream inputStream,
                           int size,
                           short encoding)

      Constructs an ASCII reader from the specified input stream and buffer size. The Endian-ness and whether this is UCS-2 or UCS-4 needs also to be known in advance.
      Parameters:
        `inputStream` - The input stream.
        `size` - The initial buffer size.
        `encoding` - One of UCS2LE, UCS2BE, UCS4LE or UCS4BE.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### read

          public int read()
                   throws IOException

      Read a single character. This method will block until a character is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.

      Subclasses that intend to support efficient single-character input should override this method.

      Overrides:
        `read` in class `Reader`
      Returns:
        The character read, as an integer in the range 0 to 127 (`0x00-0x7f`), or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
        `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

    - #### read

          public int read(char[] ch,
                          int offset,
                          int length)
                   throws IOException

      Read characters into a portion of an array. This method will block until some input is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
      Specified by:
        `read` in class `Reader`
      Parameters:
        `ch` - Destination buffer
        `offset` - Offset at which to start storing characters
        `length` - Maximum number of characters to read
      Returns:
        The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
        `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

    - #### skip

          public long skip(long n)
                    throws IOException

      Skip characters. This method will block until some characters are available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
      Overrides:
        `skip` in class `Reader`
      Parameters:
        `n` - The number of characters to skip
      Returns:
        The number of characters actually skipped
      Throws:
        `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

    - #### ready

          public boolean ready()
                        throws IOException

      Tell whether this stream is ready to be read.
      Overrides:
        `ready` in class `Reader`
      Returns:
        True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input, false otherwise. Note that returning false does not guarantee that the next read will block.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

    - #### markSupported

          public boolean markSupported()

      Tell whether this stream supports the mark() operation.
      Overrides:
        `markSupported` in class `Reader`

    - #### mark

          public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
                    throws IOException

      Mark the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will attempt to reposition the stream to this point. Not all character-input streams support the mark() operation.
      Overrides:
        `mark` in class `Reader`
      Parameters:
        `readAheadLimit` - Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. After reading this many characters, attempting to reset the stream may fail.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - If the stream does not support mark(), or if some other I/O error occurs

    - #### reset

          public void reset()
                     throws IOException

      Reset the stream. If the stream has been marked, then attempt to reposition it at the mark. If the stream has not been marked, then attempt to reset it in some way appropriate to the particular stream, for example by repositioning it to its starting point. Not all character-input streams support the reset() operation, and some support reset() without supporting mark().
      Overrides:
        `reset` in class `Reader`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - If the stream has not been marked, or if the mark has been invalidated, or if the stream does not support reset(), or if some other I/O error occurs

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Close the stream. Once a stream has been closed, further read(), ready(), mark(), or reset() invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a previously-closed stream, however, has no effect.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in class `Reader`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs
