Encoding string

[BIMAutoDam]

Hi, everyone.

XbimP21StringDecoder.cs provides a string decoder for IFC.
If I want to write some words with string encoding using Xbim, is there some existed classes could be used for it?

The Toolkit will handle the encoding for you. When you set any string attribute of any IFC entity in code, we will apply the right encoding. If you read it, we will apply the right decoding. So, you can just work with Unicode C# strings.

The class used for encoding/serialization is this:

XbimEssentials/Xbim.Common/Step21/StepTextHelper.cs

Line 24 in 5c3f842

public static string ToPart21(this string source)

Do you have any special use case where you need to apply encoding/decoding outside of our parsers and serializers?
