Rust


let sb = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();

// Append the hex.  The hex can be uppercase hex or lowercase hex, it doesn't matter.
let _ = sb.append("D79ED795D7A6D7A8").is_ok();

// 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:
let _ = sb.decode("hex", "utf-8").is_ok();

// sb now contains the decoded string.
println!("{}", sb.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default());
