Default encoding of the output of Objectmapper.writeValueAsString?

Question

Can someone tell me what is the default encoding of the serialized string generated by the usage of ObjectMapper.writeValueAsString method ??

I am assuming it should be UTF-8 because this method is used for the purpose of serializing class objects, the output of which is ideally a JSON ??

I have tried checking the documentation but i did not find any specific mention of this UTF-8 around this method.

Encoding is how you convert from string to bytes. Strings don't inherently have encodings. — shmosel, Feb 28 '23 at 02:32

I believe that Jackson's encoding is not set on a specific method level, but a whole ObjectMapper. By default it uses UTF-8, but in some scenarios UTF-16/32 might be used.
