    s := "é é é"

    sb := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()

    sb.Append(s)
    sb.EntityDecode()

    // The string now contains: "é é é"
    fmt.Println(*sb.GetAsString())

    // If encoded to hex using the iso-8859-1 charset, 
    // each é char is represented in 1 byte.
    // Output: E920E920E9
    fmt.Println(*sb.GetEncoded("hex","iso-8859-1"))

    // If encoded to hex using the utf-8 charset, 
    // each é char is represented in 2 bytes.
    // Output: C3A920C3A920C3A9
    fmt.Println(*sb.GetEncoded("hex","utf-8"))

    // Here's utf-16
    // Output: E9002000E9002000E900
    fmt.Println(*sb.GetEncoded("hex","utf-16"))
