I am programming in Java
I have the code as:
byte[] b = test.getBytes();
In the api it is specified that if we do not specify character encoding it takes the default platform character encoding.
What is meant by "default platform character encoding" ?
Does it mean the Java encoding or the OS encoding ?
If it means OS encoding the how can i check the default character encoding of Windows and Linux ? Is there anyway we can get the default character encoding using command line ?
