Usage
The FromUnicode function converts a Unicode blob to a Unicode
character string and has the same result as String(blob). This function
will be obsolete in a future release of PowerBuilder.
Unicode file format
Unicode files sometimes have two extra bytes at the start of the
file to indicate that they are Unicode files. If you are opening a
Unicode file in stream mode, skip the first two bytes if they are
present.
