I dont quite understand this? Java Strings are charset-neutral as far
as i know (and always stored internally as UTF-16), so there is no
need to "convert" a string to anything as the string does not retain
charset information. The only conversion is dont at Input/Output
stream level or when encoding to other formats (such as URLEncoder).
