Unicode from Variable?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Scott,

You have to compare chunks of data as binary data, not strings. This  
means that all chunk expressions are useless. Sometimes, I translate  
the data to hexadecimal, but that's just one of many possibilities.

If you are working with uniEncoded plain text, you can indeed  
uniDecode the data and use chunk expressions.
