System.out.println(Arrays.toString(target.getBytes("UTF-8")));
System.out.println("Final Key :" + target);

}
The above code returns the following output in Java 7
Input Array :[-5, -122, -28]
Array Length : 3
[-17, -65, -67]
Final Key :�
The Same code returns the following output in Java 8
Input Array :[-5, -122, -28]
Array Length : 3
[-17, -65, -67, -17, -65, -67, -17, -65, -67]
Final Key :���
Sounds like Java8 is doing the right thing of replacing with the default sequence of [-17, -65, -67].
Why is there a difference in output and Any Known bugs in JDK 1.7 which fixes this issue?
