About

This function retrieves a binary format of a string value. The length parameter indicates the number of bytes to be decoded, or the binary representation of the text's length that comes before the actual text. An optional encoding value can be provided to specify the text encoding. If no encoding is specified, the function will automatically determine the encoding based on the Unicode byte order marks. If no byte order marks are found, the function will default to using TextEncoding.Utf8.
