      try{
         byte[] Str2 = Str1.getBytes();
         System.out.println("Returned  Value " + Str2 );

         Str2 = Str1.getBytes( "UTF-8" );
         System.out.println("Returned  Value " + Str2 );

         Str2 = Str1.getBytes( "ISO-8859-1" );
         System.out.println("Returned  Value " + Str2 );
