Decode utf-8 Hex to a String

Converts a hex-encoded utf-8 bytes to a string. Chilkat2 Perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $sb = Chilkat2::StringBuilder->new;

# Append the hex.  The hex can be uppercase hex or lowercase hex, it doesn't matter.
my $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.
print $sb->GetAsString(), "\n";
