    • UTF_8

      public static final Charset UTF_8
      UTF-8: eight-bit UCS Transformation Format.

      Note for Java 7 and later: this constant should be treated as deprecated; use StandardCharsets.UTF_8 instead.

    • UTF_16BE

      @GwtIncompatible public static final Charset UTF_16BE
      UTF-16BE: sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, big-endian byte order.

      Note for Java 7 and later: this constant should be treated as deprecated; use StandardCharsets.UTF_16BE instead.

    • UTF_16LE
