    // It's best not to use non-usascii literal strings in source code.
    // Instead, use a binary encoded representation of the string.

    // This is the string "44ης Οδός, αρ.2" encoded as quoted-printable.
    // Use Chilkat's online tool to prepare encoded strings: Online Binary Encoder
    // Note: For strings that have very few us-ascii chars, it's better to use base64 encoding instead of quoted-printable.

    sb := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    sb.AppendEncoded(*s,"quoted-printable")

    // For programming languages where strings are exposed bytes, you can tell Chilkat globally
    // to give you the utf-8 byte representation.
    // For programming languages where strings are opaque objects, such as C#, it doesn't matter.
    glob := chilkat.NewGlobal()
    glob.SetDefaultUtf8(true)

    s := sb.GetAsString()

    sb.DisposeStringBuilder()
    glob.DisposeGlobal()
