Decoding UTF-8 String, then encoding in 8859-2 for the Slovak alphabet

I am trying to translate strings into the Slovak alphabet (encoding 8859-2) through a comparable table I created. The problem is that some characters do not actually change, and the output line shows me "?" for some Slovak character.

How can I do it? At first I did something like this:

        File tempFile = File.createTempFile("buffer", ".tmp");
        FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(tempFile);
        Reader fr = new FileReader(fileOriginal);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

        while (br.ready()) {
            fw.write(br.readLine().replace("#/e#" , "ě").replace("#>E#" , "É")
        }

but some characters are incorrectly replaced.

For example, in this line: "allo #> e # de #> E #" (just an example), he should give me "allo ě de É", but he gives me "allo? De?". because UTF-8 does not recognize these characters. What do I need to do so that my Java program recognizes it?

Thanks in advance.

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fr,"UTF-8"));
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fw,"8859-2"));
while (br.ready()) {
    bw.write(br.readLine());
}

, UTF-8, 8859-2.
