In general that's probably not what you want to do, unless you're serializing or transmitting the data. Also, Java strings are UTF-16 rather than UTF-8, which what more like what you're expecting. If you really do want/need this then this should work:

String str = "Test";
byte[] raw = str.getBytes(new Charset("UTF-8", null));
