A. Java Encoding SchemesThis appendix describes the character-encoding schemes that are supported by the Java platform. US-ASCII
ISO-8859-1
UTF-8
UTF-16
Note UTF-16 depends on the system's byte-ordering conventions. Although in most systems, high-order bytes follow low-order bytes in a 16-bit or 32-bit "word," some systems use the reverse order. UTF-16 documents cannot be interchanged between such systems without a conversion. |
