use strict;

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

# Here we wish to URL decode the following string:
my $success = $sb->Append('%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A81.jpg');

# 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('url', 'utf-8');

# sb now contains the decoded string.
print $sb->GetAsString(), "\n";
