That doesn't mean <code>UTF16</code> is the default charset (i.e.: the default "mapping between sequences of sixteen-bit <strong><a href="http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#unicode" rel="noreferrer">Unicode code units</a></strong> and sequences of bytes"):</p> <blockquote> <p>Every instance of the Java virtual machine has a default charset, which may or may not be one of the standard charsets.<br> [<code>US-ASCII</code>, <code>ISO-8859-1</code> a.k.a. <code>ISO-LATIN-1</code>, <code>UTF-8</code>, <code>UTF-16BE</code>, <code>UTF-16LE</code>, <code>UTF-16</code>]<br> The default charset is determined during virtual-machine startup and typically depends upon the locale and charset being used by the underlying operating system.</p> </blockquote> <p>This example demonstrates how to convert <code>ISO-8859-1</code> encoded bytes in a <code>ByteBuffer</code> to a string in a <code>CharBuffer</code> and visa versa.</p> <pre><code>// Create the encoder and decoder for ISO-8859-1 Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1"); CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder(); CharsetEncoder encoder = charset.newEncoder(); try { // Convert a string to ISO-LATIN-1 bytes in a ByteBuffer // The new ByteBuffer is ready to be read. ByteBuffer bbuf = encoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap("a string")); // Convert ISO-LATIN-1 bytes in a ByteBuffer to a character ByteBuffer and then to a string. // The new ByteBuffer is ready to be read.
