Class Charsets
Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following character encodings. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported.
US-ASCIISeven-bit ASCII, a.k.a. ISO646-US, a.k.a. the Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set.
ISO-8859-1ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1, a.k.a. ISO-LATIN-1.
UTF-8Eight-bit Unicode Transformation Format.
UTF-16BESixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, big-endian byte order.
UTF-16LESixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, little-endian byte order.
UTF-16Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, byte order specified by a mandatory initial byte-order mark (either order accepted on input, big-endian used on output.)
This class is immutable and thread-safe.
