title: Why does Java's String.getBytes() uses "ISO-8859-1"
body: <p>from java.lang.StringCoding :</p>
  
  <pre><code>String csn = (charsetName == null) ? "ISO-8859-1" : charsetName;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what is used from Java.lang.getBytes() , in linux jdk 7 
  I was always under the impression that UTF-8 is the default charset ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks </p>
