g_index] is a string giving the value to which the String object is initialized.<P>
The string at constant_pool[string_index] is "encoded" so that strings containing only ASCIZ characters, can be represented using only one byte per character, but characters of up to 16 bits can be represented. The format we use is a modified UTF<A NAME=classfile_FootNote_43 HREF=classfile_FootNote_43.html>*1</A> format.<P>
All characters in the range 0x0001 to 0x007F are represented by a single byte:<P>
