                    throws IOException

  Dump String in Utf8 format to file stream.

  Specified by:
    `dump` in class `Constant`
  Parameters:
    `file` - Output file stream
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### getBytes

    public final String getBytes()

  Returns:
    Data converted to string.

### setBytes

    public final void setBytes(String bytes)

  Parameters:
    `bytes` - the raw bytes of this Utf-8

### toString

    public final String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Constant`
