First can you clarify if both of these should work.? We see both in
dictionary...
*Example*
textEncode("A","UTF16")
*put*textEncode(field"output","UTF-8") intotOutput
will the 2nd param work with or without a hyphen?
-----------
unclarity --simply:
*Syntax*
textEncode(*stringToEncode*, encoding)
*Summary*
Converts from text to binary data.

doesn't stipulate an "exception" for
"different libraries that treat JSON text encoding differently. mergJSON [snip]
"
