```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| bytes | ArrayPtr\<uint8_t\> | [Buffer](../../../system/buffer/) to read bytes from. |

### ReturnValue

```cpp
virtual int System::Text::Encoding::GetChars(ArrayPtr<uint8_t> bytes, int byte_index, int byte_count, ArrayPtr<char_t> chars, int char_index)
```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| bytes | ArrayPtr\<uint8_t\> | [Buffer](../../../system/buffer/) to read bytes from. |
| byte_index | int | Input buffer offset. |
| byte_count | int | Input buffer size. |
| chars | ArrayPtr\<char_t\> | [Buffer](../../../system/buffer/) to put characters to. |
| char_index | int | Output buffer offset. |

### ReturnValue

Number of written characters.
