Decode utf-8 Hex to a String

Converts a hex-encoded utf-8 bytes to a string. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loSb

lnSuccess = 0

loSb = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')

*  Append the hex.  The hex can be uppercase hex or lowercase hex, it doesn't matter.
lnSuccess = loSb.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:
lnSuccess = loSb.Decode("hex","utf-8")

*  sb now contains the decoded string.
