char in Java is a 16 bit value and char arrays are also assumed to be UTF-16 encoded. docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/… If you mean to store strings in different encodings, I think you must use byte arrays instead. To get differently encoded strings, there is String.getBytes.

String objects are storing their data in an underlaying char[]. There can be no difference in encoding capabilities.
