The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 18:
400: UTF-8 by Default
https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/400
Summary: Specify UTF-8 as the default charset of the standard Java
APIs. With this change, APIs that depend upon the default charset
will behave consistently across all implementations, operating systems,
locales, and configurations.
Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections. If no such objections
are raised by 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 25 August, or if they’re raised
and then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal
[2] I’ll target this JEP to JDK 18.
