Hello,
Text in java.lang.Character states a UTF-16 character encoding is used
for java.lang.String. While was true for many years, it is not
necessarily true and not true in practice as of JDK 9 due to the
improvements from JEP 254: Compact Strings.
The statement about the encoding should be corrected.
Please review the patch below which does this. (I've formatted the
patch so that the change is text is made clear; I'll re-flow the
paragraph before pushing.
I'm not sure that this is worth changing. You could replace "classes"
with "API" and add a note to say that an implementation may use an more
optimization representation but I don't think it's really needed.
