Problem with getting correct data out of buffer reading from channel

I'm reading data from a socket channel in a network program. To test
my code, I'm telnetting to the program and typing in some data, which
I then try to read from the buffer, view as a charbuffer, and write to
standard out. Unfortunately, what I type in are english letters and
numbers, and what I get out seems to be unicode chinese! Here's what
I'm doing:

        try {
            NumberOfBytesReadFromChannel = Channel.read
(ReceiveBuffer); //read available data into the buffer
            }

            ReceiveBuffer.flip(); //flip the buffer so it
can be read

            //Read the new data out of the buffer and add it to
IncomingDataString, which stores unprocessed incoming data
            IncomingMessageBuffer = ReceiveBuffer.asCharBuffer();
            if (IncomingDataString == null) {
                IncomingDataString = IncomingMessageBuffer.toString();
            } else {
                IncomingDataString = IncomingDataString +
IncomingMessageBuffer.toString();
            }

            //*************************
            System.out.println("String received was: " +
IncomingDataString);

ReceiveBuffer.clear();

(Not shown: the IOException catch statement)

What I get are a series of strings that look like:
String received was: =E6=91=A7=E6 =8D=E6=91=A6=E0=B4=8A=E6=9C=8D=E6 =8D=
=E6 =8D

So somehow, I seem to be reading the data incorrectly, even though I
am receiving it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!
