I'm not sure that this is required at all. Java strings have the same
representation internally no matter what they were created from. Thus,
the code snipped you posted is wrong.

Especially the expression "textOnly.getBytes()" is wrong. It converts
the String to a set of bytes using the JVM's default encoding. Then you
convert the bytes back to a string using UTF-8 encoding.
You carefully have to check *how* the string "textOnly" is created in
the first place. That's where you UTF-8 issues might come from.
