Procedure Test
    Handle hoSb
    Boolean iSuccess
    String sTemp1



    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatStringBuilder)) To hoSb
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoSb))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoSb
    End

    // Append the hex.  The hex can be uppercase hex or lowercase hex, it doesn't matter.
    Get ComAppend Of hoSb "D79ED795D7A6D7A8" To iSuccess

    // 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:
    Get ComDecode Of hoSb "hex" "utf-8" To iSuccess

    // sb now contains the decoded string.
    Get ComGetAsString Of hoSb To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1
