encode static method

List<int> encode(String value, { StringEncoding type = StringEncoding.utf8, bool validateB64Padding = true, bool allowUrlSafe = true, Base58Alphabets base58alphabets = Base58Alphabets.bitcoin, })

Encodes the given value string into a list of bytes using the specified type.

The type parameter determines the encoding type to use, with UTF-8 being the default. Returns a list of bytes representing the encoded string.

Implementation
