CodingErrorAction	Used to indicate what kind of actions to take in case of encoding/decoding errors.
StandardCharsets	Convenient access to the most important built-in charsets.

IllegalCharsetNameException	An `IllegalCharsetNameException` is thrown when an illegal charset name is encountered.
MalformedInputException	A `MalformedInputException` is thrown when a malformed input is encountered, for example if a byte sequence is illegal for the given charset.
UnmappableCharacterException	An `UnmappableCharacterException` is thrown when an unmappable character for the given charset is encountered.
