Method

byte[]getUtf8Bytes(String s)
Convinient method to get UTF8 bytes 
return s.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
byte[]GetUtf8Bytes(String str, boolean replace)
Encodes a string in UTF-8 as a byte array. 
return GetUtf8Bytes(str, replace, false);
byte[]getUTF8Bytes(String string)
Converts the string to bytes using the UTF-8 encoding. 
try {
    return string.getBytes(UTF_8_CHARSET.name());
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
byte[]getUTF8BytesFromString(String str)
get UTF Bytes From String 
return str.getBytes(UTF_8);
CharsetDecodergetUtf8Decoder()
get Utf Decoder 
CharsetDecoder decoder = Charset.forName("UTF-8").newDecoder();
decoder.onMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction.REPORT);
decoder.onUnmappableCharacter(CodingErrorAction.REPORT);
return decoder;
CharsetgetUtf8OrDefault()
Returns the value of #getUtf8() if UTF8 is supported. 
if (Charset.isSupported(UTF8_NAME)) {
    return getUtf8();
} else {
    return Charset.defaultCharset();
ReadergetUTF8Reader(InputStream f)
get UTF Reader 
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(f);
assert bis.markSupported();
bis.mark(3);
boolean reset = true;
byte[] t = new byte[3];
bis.read(t);
if (t[0] == ((byte) 0xef) && t[1] == ((byte) 0xbb) && t[2] == ((byte) 0xbf)) {
    reset = false;

PrintStreamgetUTF8SuportOutput()
get UTF Suport Output 
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(System.out, true, "UTF-8");
return out;
WritergetUTF8Writer(String path)
Returns a Writer for writing UTF-8 encoded data to the file at the specified path. 
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(path);
