Well the encoding in a string is always UTF 16.

.NET uses UTF-16 to encode the text in a string. A char instance represents a 16-bit code unit.

From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/character-encoding-introduction

Okay, and can I convert this to the correct character set? It could be "Español"

Btw it came from Xabe.FFmpeg SubtitleStream.Title prop.
