Did you do that? It's only fair since the data of greater interest are UTF-8. >000109 MOVE U'Latin, JØJaJccJ½c}Ý}½, español, français, ' > 44444444444DDEC4E7D8A8964D8D8D88DB8DBDB648A98499648989488A6474 > 00000000000465504D31395B010111331830A08B05271963B069158192B0D0 >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >000110 TO UtF-8-STRING > 4444444444444ED4EAC6F6EEDCDC4444444444444444444444444444444444 > 00000000000003604360802399570000000000000000000000000000000000 >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >000111 MOVE U'Latin, ónó¨ó¨ó¼ó]ó¾óÝóÐ, PsO©PjPyO©PrP¡.
