CONSTANT_Utf8_info

public final class CONSTANT_Utf8_info extends CONSTANT_info
The CONSTANT_Utf8_info structure is used to represent constant string values.

The bytes of multibyte characters are stored in the class file in big-endian (high byte first) order. There are two differences between this format and the "standard" UTF-8 format. First, the null byte (byte)0 is encoded using the two-byte format rather than the one-byte format, so that Java Virtual Machine UTF-8 strings never have embedded nulls. Second, only the one-byte, two-byte, and three-byte formats are used. The Java Virtual Machine does not recognize the longer UTF-8 formats.
