This class encodes Unicode characters as UTF-8, 8-bit characters. The overloaded constructor allows zero, one, or two boolean parameters. The first argument indicates whether the encoder should both emit the UTF-8 byte order mark code and recognize it. The second boolean argument specifies whether to throw an exception when invalid bytes are encountered.
