/**
* An OutputStreamWriter is a bridge from character streams to byte streams:
* Characters written to it are translated into bytes according to a specified
* character encoding. The
* encoding that it uses may be specified by name, or the platform's default
* encoding may be accepted.
*
*
Each invocation of a write() method causes the encoding converter to be
* invoked on the given character(s). The resulting bytes are accumulated in a
* buffer before being written to the underlying output stream. The size of
* this buffer may be specified, but by default it is large enough for most
* purposes. Note that the characters passed to the write() methods are not
* buffered.
*
*
For top efficiency, consider wrapping an OutputStreamWriter within a
* BufferedWriter so as to avoid frequent converter invocations. For example:
*
*
* Writer out
* = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out));
*
*
* A surrogate pair is a character represented by a sequence of two
* char values: A high surrogate in the range '\uD800' to
* '\uDBFF' followed by a low surrogate in the range '\uDC00' to
* '\uDFFF'. If the character represented by a surrogate pair cannot be
* encoded by a given encoding then a encoding-dependent substitution
* sequence is written to the output stream.
*
*
A malformed surrogate element is a high surrogate that is not
* followed by a low surrogate or a low surrogate that is not preceeded by a
* high surrogate. It is illegal to attempt to write a character stream
* containing malformed surrogate elements. The behavior of an instance of
* this class when a malformed surrogate element is written is not specified.
