fun String.toByteArray(
charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8
): ByteArray

import kotlin.test.assertTrue

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val charset = Charsets.UTF_8
    val byteArray = "Hello".toByteArray(charset)
    println(byteArray.contentToString()) // [72, 101, 108, 108, 111]
    println(byteArray.toString(charset)) // Hello
