public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String s = "é é é";

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        System.out.println(sb.getAsString());

        // If encoded to hex using the iso-8859-1 charset,
        // each é char is represented in 1 byte.
        // Output: E920E920E9
