Decode utf-8 Hex to a String

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

llSuccess = .F.

loSb = createobject("CkStringBuilder")

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

// sb now contains the decoded string.
