Java Encoding: why the output is always the same?

For what reason I'm getting the same result:

 groovy -e "println 'Hello'.getBytes('windows-1251')"

result

[72, 101, 108, 108, 111]

and

 groovy -e "println 'Hello'.getBytes('UTF-8')"

result is the same

[72, 101, 108, 108, 111]

English letters, numbers, standard symbols and so on in almost every encoding keep's same codes.

It's true for ASCII first page. Symbols with codes 0-127. If you try any other letters, result will differ.

groovysh "println 'Привет'.getBytes('windows-1251')"
[-49, -16, -24, -30, -27, -14]


groovysh "println 'Привет'.getBytes('UTF-8')"
[-48, -97, -47, -128, -48, -72, -48, -78, -48, -75, -47, -126]
