How to convert String to utf-8 and still get results as String

Question

I'm trying to encode a string into utf-8 and I want the result as a String, is there a way to easily get it?

I would suggest the second solution provided in (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5729806/encode-string-to-utf-8) — Ishnark, May 24 '17 at 14:35

The only thing that has an encoding is a Byte array PLUS encoding. So if you need UTF-8 data, then you need a byte[] PLUS encoding.

See more here

Or just do:

Charset.forName("UTF-8").encode(myString)

Or

byte[] ptext = String.getBytes("UTF-8");
