Yes, the default encoding has become utf-8, for non-CJK (??) locales.

In the iso8859-1 locale, 0xAE is a valid byte character. In the UTF-8
locale, it is not.
If the authors are testing character conversion routines, they really
need to be testing in either a fixed locale, or according to the rules
of the current one. Assuming that Java's Unicode will always convert to
0xAE is wrong.
