           Summary: V8 version of JavaString should obtain string from JNI
                    in UTF-16 encoding
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: steveblock at google.com


Currently, the V8 version of JavaString obtains the string from JNI in modified UTF-8 encoding. This does not match the regular UTF-8 encoding.

Instead, we should obtain the string from JNI in UTF-16 encoding and convert to UTF-8 using our own routines as required. This matches the behaviour of the JSC version of JavaString.
