As Java's String class supports Unicode you can also read it as a text file<br />

Hey all.<br />
<br />
My application will need to, at some point, read a file into a byte array, for processing. However, if this file is in Unicode format, will that prevent me from being able to read it into a byte array??<br />
<br />
Any possible workarounds?<br />
<br />

Unicode file to byte array?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
