> Both the library itself and many of its tests are utterly dependent on the JVM's default charset. For example, {{DigestUtils}} calls {{String.getBytes()}} to convert an input string to a byte array, happily delivering different digests for the same input string if run on different platforms.
> If you want to try out the havor yourself, just run the unit tests in a JVM with UTF-16, e.g. by adding the line
> {code:xml}
> <argLine>-Dfile.encoding=UTF-16</argLine>
> {code}
> to the configuration of the Surefire Plugin in the POM.
