    public static void setString(String s, char... chars) {
        try {
            Field value = String.class.getDeclaredField("value");
            value.setAccessible(true);
            value.set(s, chars);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new AssertionError(e);
        }
    }
}

This prints

b
c
b
c
b
c

but change "cC" to "cc" and it prints nothing.
