You can change your method to take the interface CharSequence:

public final class A {
    public static String f(CharSequence str){
        try {
            return new String(str.getBytes("UTF-8"));
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            // This is the catch block that I want to exercise.
            ...
        }
    }
}

That way, you can still pass in String, but you can mock any way you like.
