Decode utf-8 Hex to a String

Converts a hex-encoded utf-8 bytes to a string. B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False



Dim sb As ChilkatStringBuilder
sb.Initialize

'  Append the hex.  The hex can be uppercase hex or lowercase hex, it doesn't matter.
success = sb.Append("D79ED795D7A6D7A8")

'  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 = sb.Decode("hex", "utf-8")

'  sb now contains the decoded string.
