Splitting a string that has no delimeter (or regex)

[x-ice]

If i have a string "football" or "racing". How can i split this string? The String.split() method needs a delimeter (or as the documentation calls it a 'regex'). Because there is no regex i cannot use this method. Are there any other ways?

I want the new string to look like

f
o
o
t
b
a
l
l
