Latin-1 was an example my good monk. If someone learned this really bad pattern and one day bumps into Latin-1 (say in a db) it'll explode. It's exactly like using 86400 seconds in a day just 'cause it'll work today.
I'm not going to test every JDK for you, every character set that the JDK supports to see what blows up. It's assumed that if you do things w/i parameters, it's a bug when it does blow up. Enjoy going on and on. I'm done here.
Good nite. Good luck.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
