(PowerBuilder) Set Default to utf-8 instead of ANSI

This example shows how to set the default charset (character encoding) to utf-8. By default, strings passed to Chilkat are interpreted as ANSI, and strings returned by Chilkat are ANSI. The Chilkat.Global.DefaultUtf8 property can be set to tell Chilkat that all strings passed in are utf-8, and to return all strings as utf-8.

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// IMPORTANT: To ensure backward compatibility, explicitly set the DefaultUtf8 property at the start of your application. 
// In a future major release, Chilkat will change the default value of DefaultUtf8 from 0 to 1

// To configure Chilkat to interpret and return strings as UTF-8, set the DefaultUtf8 property to 1. 
// Once set, the glob object can be discarded. The setting applies globally to all existing and future Chilkat objects.
