s = "é é é"

loSb = createobject("CkStringBuilder")

loSb.Append(s)
loSb.EntityDecode()

// The string now contains: "é é é"
? loSb.GetAsString()

// If encoded to hex using the iso-8859-1 charset, 
// each é char is represented in 1 byte.
// Output: E920E920E9
? loSb.GetEncoded("hex","iso-8859-1")

// If encoded to hex using the utf-8 charset, 
// each é char is represented in 2 bytes.
// Output: C3A920C3A920C3A9
? loSb.GetEncoded("hex","utf-8")

// Here's utf-16
// Output: E9002000E9002000E900
? loSb.GetEncoded("hex","utf-16")

// utf-32
// Output: E900000020000000E900000020000000E9000000
