Oh I see. You interpreted the question completely different.
I was assuming, that the input was bytes, not characters.

But anyway: wouldn't ByteArrayOutputStream + OutputStreamWriter be

It works with char[] internally. The question was about something that
works with byte[] internally, I believe. Not sure, what that is good for
