BOOL success;

success = FALSE;
// Note: We'll want to tell Chilkat that we're passing in utf-8 strings, and we wish to receive utf-8 "const char *" strings.
// See Global utf-8
glob = CkGlobal_Create();
CkGlobal_putDefaultUtf8(glob,TRUE);
sb = CkStringBuilder_Create();
// Here we wish to URL decode the following string:
success = CkStringBuilder_Append(sb,"%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A81.jpg");
// Notice the above string contains Hebrew chars using the utf-8 byte representation.
// See https://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/codetables/BasicHebrew.html
// For example: D79E is the HEBREW LETTER MEM
// Therefore, when we decode to binary bytes, we must interpret the bytes as utf-8
// to get characters.
// Tell Chilkat to URL decode like this:
success = CkStringBuilder_Decode(sb,"url","utf-8");
// sb now contains the decoded string.
printf("%s\n",CkStringBuilder_getAsString(sb));
CkGlobal_Dispose(glob);
CkStringBuilder_Dispose(sb);
