I would suggest changing the terminology here. A "string" is quite
simply an array of bytes, with no intrinsic meaning or encoding. This
"UString" is something quite different, and giving it a similar name
might cause confusion. I'd suggest calling it a "text" type.
Having distinct "string" and "text" types would aid in reminding people
that strings are not, in fact, text, a fact which it can be difficult to
grasp.
But perhaps that makes sense only to me.

Hi there!!
When I'm trying to load an external html document with the loadHTMLFile()
function and then I use the saveHTML() function to output its content,
some text in the external html document which is written in hebrew is
displayed in a gibberish format. is anyone here has an idea how to solve
this problem?
NOTE: the document itself is encoded in utf-8 character set.
Thanks in advance!!
atar.
