Specification of the interface javax.imageio.stream.ImageOutputStream and
specification of the class javax.imageio.stream.ImageOutputStreamImpl say:

"public void void writeUTF(String str) throws IOException


Writes two bytes of length information to the output stream, followed by
the Java modified UTF representation of every character in the string s.
                                                               ^^^^^^^^
If s is null, a NullPointerException is thrown. Each character in the string s
  ^^^ ^^^
is converted to a group of one, two, or three bytes, depending

on the value of the character.
...

First, the total number of bytes needed to represent all the characters
of s is calculated.
  ^^^
...
Otherwise, this length is written to the output stream in exactly the manner
of the writeShort method; after this, the one-, two-, or three-byte
representation of each character in the string s is written.
                                        ^^^^^^^^
...
Parameters:
    s - a String containing the value to be written.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Throws:
    NullPointerException - if s is null.
                             ^^^
    UTFDataFormatError - if the UTF representation of s requires more than 65536 bytes.
                                                     ^^^
..."

These specifications contain "str" parameter in the signature and parameter "s"
in other cases.
