    Description

      The Hex class uses the following, which rely on the current platform encoding:

      new String(byte[] [, int, int])

      String.getBytes()

      There does not seem to be a bug here (at least I could not provoke one), but it seems rather inefficient to convert to/from strings in order to treat bytes as chars.
