In most cases, it can also parse the even-rarer CESU-8. . These days, someone will most likely encounter MUTF-8 when working on files or protocols related to the JVM. Strings in a Java .class file are encoded using MUTF-8, strings passed by the JNI, as well as strings exported by the object serializer. . This library was extracted from Lawu, a Python library for working with JVM class files.
