RFR [8058875]: CharsetEncoder.maxBytesPerChar() should return 4 for UTF-8

[Ivan Gerasimov]

Martin, Sherman thanks for clarification!

Closing the bug as not a bug.

> The "character" in the nio Charset and CharDe/Encoder is specified as 
> "sixteen-bit Unicode
> code unit", so it is reasonable to interpret the "character" in the

> that will be produced for each character of input" to be the Java 
> "char" as well. In case of
> UTF8, each 4-byte form supplementary character is always coded into 2 
> surrogate chars,
> it's "2 byte per char".

I'm going to try to explain what I've just realized about this function :-)

Sincerely yours,
