 * <pre>{@code
 * Bill bill = remoteService.getLastUnpaidBill();

   * '\\u5432'} would yield the byte array {@code {0x54, 0x32}}.
   *
   * <p>If you need to convert and concatenate several values (possibly even of different types),
   * use a shared {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer} instance, or use {@link
   * com.google.common.io.ByteStreams#newDataOutput()} to get a growable buffer.
